Tyranny – unjust use of power
The Sons of Liberty formed to fight against British tyranny.
In Boston, as an example, to identify oneself as a member of the Sons of Liberty, Paul
Revere cast a coin size medal which was suspended around the neck by a ribbon. It
had a liberty tree on one side with the words "Liberty Tree" on the bottom, and on
the reverse side an arm holding a liberty cap with the words "Sons of Liberty"
inscribed at the bottom. A written description of the medal is known, but not a
single one has survived.

Analyzing the Declaration of Independence
The Declaration of
Independence
Matt Damon reads the Declaration:
http://www.history.com/topics/americanrevolution/videos#the-people-speak-2
Analyzing the Declaration of
Independence
The Declaration of Independence was written with
Four Principles of Government in mind:
Principle 1: All people are created equal
Principle 2: All people have basic rights
that cannot be taken away
Analyzing the Declaration of
Independence
Principle 3: The government gets its power to
make decisions and protect rights from the
people.
Principle 4: When the government does not
protect the rights of the people, the people have
the right to change or remove the government.
Which principle to do you consider to be the most
important? Explain and defend your answer by
explaining its importance and reason it was created.
Excerpt 1
When in the Course of human events it
becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have
connected them with another…a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that they should declare the
causes which impel them to the
separation.
Excerpt 2
We hold these truths to be selfevident, 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.
Excerpt 3
That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their
just powers from the consent
of the governed.
Excerpt 4
That whenever any Form of
Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter
or abolish it, and to institute a
new Government.
Excerpt 5
The history of the present King of
Great Britain is a history of
repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in direct
object the establishment of an
absolute Tyranny over these
States.
Excerpt 6
In every stage of these Oppressions We
have Petitioned for Redress in the
most humble terms: Our repeated
Petitions have been answered only by
repeated injury. A Prince whose
character is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to
be the ruler.
Excerpt 7
These United Colonies are, and of
Right ought to be Free and
Independent States; that they are
Absolved from all Allegiance to the
British Crown, and that all political
connection between them and the
State of Great Britain, is and ought
to be totally dissolved.
