We Hold These Truths to be Self Evident

I still believe

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,

c

that among these are 

  Life, Liberty and the 

  Pursuit of Happiness.-- 

I believe

That to secure these rights, 

c

Governments are instituted among Men, 

 deriving their just powers from

 the consent of the governed.--

I believe

That whenever any Form of Government 

  becomes destructive of these ends, 

c

it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, 

c

and to institute new Government, 

  laying its foundation on such principles

  and organizing its powers in such form, 

c

as to them shall seem most likely to 

  effect their Safety and Happiness.--

I believe

when a long train of abuses and usurpations, 

  pursuing invariably the same Object 

  evinces a design to reduce them under 

  absolute Despotism, 

c

it is their right, it is their duty, 

c

  to throw off such Government, 

  and to provide new Guards for their future security."

United States Declaration of Independence

And I expect

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, 

  or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; 

  or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; 

  or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, 

  and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
