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
The Real Declaration
http://www.history.com/topics/americanrevolution/videos#declaration-of-independence
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.
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 self-evident,
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.
