declaration of independence
in congress, july 4, 1776
the unanimous declaration of the thirteen united states of america
when in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with another, and to -ssume among the powers of the
earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s god ent-tle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation
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 inst-tuted 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 to abolish it, and to
inst-tute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. prudence
indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and
transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to
suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they
are accustomed. but when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same
object evinces a design 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 sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains
them to alter their former systems of government. the history of the present king of great
britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. to prove this, let facts be submitted to a
candid world
he has refused his -ssent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the
public good
he has forbidden his governors to p-ss laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their operation till his -ssent should be obtained;
and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them
he has refused to p-ss other laws for the accommodation of large districts of
people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the
legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only
he has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant
from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into
compliance with his measures
he has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly
firmness his invasions on the rights of the people
he has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be
elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned
to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the mean time
exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within
he has endeavoured to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose
obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to p-ss others to
encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new
appropriations of lands
he has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his -ssent to laws
for establishing judiciary powers
he has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices
and the amount and payment of their salaries
he has erected a mult-tude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to
harr-ss our people, and eat out their substance
he has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of
our legislatures
he has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power
he has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our
const-tution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his -ssent to their acts of
pretended legislation:
for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
for protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which
they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:
for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
for imposing taxes on us without our consent: for depriving us in many cases
of the benefits of trial by jury:
for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences
for abolishing the free system of english laws in a neighbouring province
establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as
to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same
absolute rule into these colonies:
for taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering
fundamentally the forms of our governments:
for suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with
power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever
he has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and
waging war against us
he has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the
lives of our people
he is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat
the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circ-mstances of
cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally
unworthy of the head of a civilized nation
he has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear
arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and
brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands
he has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring
on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless indian savages, whose known
rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, s-xes and conditions
in every stage of these oppressions we have pet-tioned for redress in the most humble terms:
our repeated pet-tions have been answered only by repeated injury. a prince whose character is
thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people
nor have we been wanting in attentions to our brittish brethren. we have warned them from
time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. we
have reminded them of the circ-mstances of our emigration and settlement here. we have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our
common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our
connections and correspondence. they too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of
consanguinity. we must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends
we, therefore, the representatives of the united states of america, in general congress
-ssembled, appealing to the supreme judge of the world for the rect-tude of our intentions, do
in the name, and by authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and
declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states;
that they are absolved from all allegiance to the british crown, and that all political connection
between them and the state of great britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free
and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances
establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right
do. and for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine
providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor
