hen 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 assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle 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 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 to 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 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.
The Most Beautiful Words that sparked a revolution, that formed the greatest nation on earth, that produced the most freedom, are the words from the preamble of the Declaration of Independence. The preamble contains the fundamental doctrine of government the framers used as a blueprint for the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence, our national birth certificate contains the fundamental doctrine of government, in that, God is the grantor of unalienable rights to all persons, and government is to secure those rights. So, government is subservient to man via a "social compact" a two way agreement with man and government. Man is not subservient to the government, but the Declaration declared that "governments . . . deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." The Constitution is the compact "deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed." Thus the model the founders established for these United States.
These words, these beautiful words should be committed to memory by all Americans. We should talk of them daily at schools, at work, and at home for it is by these words our nation was founded.
These words are still alive and are the foundation of every conservative. In a recent article, Representative Thaddeus McCotter expressed Five Principles that stand upon these words, these beautiful words.
1. Our liberty is from God not the government.
2. Our sovereignty rests in our souls not the soil.
3. Our security is through strength not surrender.
4. Our prosperity is from the private sector not the public sector.
5. Our truths are self-evident not relative.
Now take a look at this map, these words are still relevant in the U.S.A., this nation holds fast to conservative principles, so do not despair, FREEDOM WILL PREVAIL.
