[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:] [00:09.00]When in the Course of human events, [00:12.39]it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands [00:17.75]which have connected them with another, [00:19.93]and to assume among the powers of the earth, [00:23.22]the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, [00:30.33]a decent respect to the opinions of mankind [00:34.16]requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. [00:40.08]We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, [00:46.74]that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, [00:52.21]that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. [00:57.47]—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, [01:02.39]deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, [01:07.31]—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, [01:12.67]it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, [01:17.38]and to institute new Government, [01:19.90]laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, [01:26.35]as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. [01:32.37]Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established [01:37.51]should not be changed for light and transient causes; [01:41.34]and accordingly all experience has shown, [01:44.62]that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, [01:50.64]than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. [01:55.89]But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, [02:00.16]pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them [02:05.63]under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, [02:10.88]to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. [02:17.56]—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; [02:22.58]and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. [02:30.49]The history of the present King of Great Britain [02:36.00]is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, [02:40.82]all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. [02:47.49]To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. 00:00.87]Passage 5 Declaration of Independence
