Todos los hombres son creados iguales y hay ciertos derechos inalienables que los
gobiernos nunca deberían violar. Estos derechos incluyen el derecho a la vida, la
libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad. Cuando un gobierno no protege esos
derechos, no solo es el derecho, sino también el deber del pueblo derrocar a ese
gobierno. En su lugar, la gente debe establecer un gobierno diseñado para proteger
esos derechos. Los gobiernos rara vez son derrocados, y no deberían ser derrocados
por razones triviales. En este caso, una larga historia de abusos ha llevado a los
colonos a derrocar a un gobierno tiránico.
All men are created equal and there are certain unalienable rights that governments
should never violate. These rights include the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. When a government fails to protect those rights, it is not only the right, but
also the duty of the people to overthrow that government. In its place, the people
should establish a government that is designed to protect those rights. Governments
are rarely overthrown, and should not be overthrown for trivial reasons. In this case, a
long history of abuses has led the colonists to overthrow a tyrannical government.
The King of Great Britain, George III, is guilty of 27 specific abuses. The King interfered
with the colonists' right to self-government and for a fair judicial system. Acting with
Parliament, the King also instituted legislation that affected the colonies without their
consent. This legislation levied taxes on the colonists. It also required them to quarter
British soldiers, removed their right to trial by jury, and prevented them from trading
freely. Additionally, the King and Parliament are guilty of outright destruction of
American life and property by their refusal to protect the colonies' borders, their
confiscation of American ships at sea, and their intent to hire foreign mercenaries to
fight against the colonists.
The new nation will be called the United States of America and will have no further
connections with Great Britain. The new government will reserve the right to levy war,
make peace, make alliances with foreign nations, conduct trade, and do anything
else that nations do.
