Part One
WHEN 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 seperation. 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 amoung these are LIFE, LIBERTY, and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted amoung men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that when any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or 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.... ~Thomas Jefferson~ The Declaration of Independence 1776 We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranqulity, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America... ~James Madison~ The Constitution of the United States of America ~TYRANNY~ Dominance through threat of punishment and violence... ~POLICE STATE~ a country that maintains repressive control over the people by means of fear, harrassment, constant surveilance, court systems, police, criminal, and judicially rigged systems and structured control for its own gain..
