"we hold these truths to be self evident, that   all men are created equal, that they are endowed   by their creator with certain 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 abolish it"
