Declaration for the Rights of the American People

When in the Course of political dramatics, is becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands that have connected it with idiocracy, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the seperate but equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them a decent respect to the opinions of the American people requires that they should declare the cause which impels them to seperation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created free, that they are endowed by their government with certain unalienable rights, that among these are speech, religion, and the pursuit of happiness That to secure these rights, our government was instituted among men, deriving it's just power from the consent of the governed. That whenever the Government of the People becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing it's powers in such a 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 shown, that mankind is 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 socialist tactics, 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 suffering of these States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present Government of the United States of America 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.

It has dissolved the legislation of the Representative Houses of each state repeatedly, for opposing with firmness it's invasions on the rights of the people It has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause the states to hold power, 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 from within. It has endeavoured to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution; refusing to pass laws to encourage the maintenance of the rights of migrants and their ability to become naturalized citizens. It has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing it's consent to fair and expedited trial. It has made judges corrupt and unjust beings, assuring their tenure and pay. It has enabled the military to be of free and able body, above civilian power. It has abdicated the governments of the states, declaring them inadequate and overturning their laws. It has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, bringing us to the brink of a second Civil War. It has controlled currency without regression, and brought us upon a great depression. It has held corrupt meetings, in which decisions had already been made prior to the hearing of the people. We, therefore, the true Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these States, solemnly publish and declare, that these United States are, and of Right ought to be, Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the current Govenrment of the United States, and that all political connection between them and the Government of the United

States, is and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have the full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts which Free and 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.
