"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands.....etc." This document goes on to say, the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" entitles them to respect and requires that they should declare the causes of the separation.
If it has been awhile since you read this remarkable document it will do you good to read it now.
The document goes on to detail the repeated injuries and usurpations of the King of England.
The signers of this declaration go on to list the reasons for this action in very plain language. Among the many: He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws unless the people relinquish their right of Representation in the Legislature; He has dissolved legislative bodies repeatedly; He has refused to assent to laws, the most necessary for the good of the people; He has made judges dependent to his will; He has made the Military independent and superior to Civil Power; He has quartered large bodies of armed troops among us, cut off trade with all parts of the world, imposed taxes without our consent, deprived us, many times of trial by jury. The list goes on. Read it and see why these men invoked the "protection of Divine Providence" and pledged to each other, "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." ..Medicineman!
