Craig: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends. It is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence indeed will dictate that government’s long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. And accordingly, all experience have shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to write themselves by abolishing the forms to which they’re accustomed. But when a long train of abuses end user patients pursuing invariably the same object events are designed to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right. It is their duty. To throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient’s sufferance of these colonies and such as now the necessity which constrains them to alter their form of systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and use of patients all having indirect object, the establishment of an absolute til tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
