Hart + + + + + +</pre> + +<p> + + + + +<img src="images/whenbnr.gif" alt="The Declaration of Independence of +The United States of America" /> + +<img src="images/whenwrd.gif" alt="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 separation. +</p> + +<p> + +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. +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 to 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments +long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; +and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed +to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing +the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and +usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce +them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw +off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. +--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now +the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. +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. To prove this, let Facts +be submitted to a candid world. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary +for the public good. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate +and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation +till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, +he has utterly neglected to attend to them. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of +large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish +the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right +inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, +uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their +Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them +into compliance with his measures. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing +with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, +to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative Powers, +incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large +for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed +to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; +for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; +refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, +and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent +to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has made judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure +of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of +Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies +without the Consent of our legislatures. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has affected to render the Military independent of +and superior to the Civil Power. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction +foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; +giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended legislation: +</p> + +<p> + + +For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: +</p> + +<p> + + +For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders +which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: +</p> + +<p> + + +For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: +</p> + +<p> + + +For imposing taxes on us without our Consent: +</p> + +<p> + + +For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: +</p> + +<p> + + +For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: +</p> + +<p> + + +For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring +Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, +and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once +an example and fit instrument for introducing the same +absolute rule into these Colonies: +</p> + +<p> + + +For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, +and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: +</p> + +<p> + + +For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves +invested with Power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection +and waging War against us. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, +and destroyed the lives of our people. +</p> + +<p> + + +He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries +to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun +with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the +most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas +to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of +their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. +</p> + +<p> + + +He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has +endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, +the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, +is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. +</p> + +<p> + + +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 +of a free People. +</p> + +<p> + + +Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren. +We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their +legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. +We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and +settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice +and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our +common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably +interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been +deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, +acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, +as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. +</p> + +<p> + + +We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, +in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of +the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, +and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, +solemnly publish and declare, That 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; +and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to +levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, +and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may +of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm +reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge +to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. +</p> + + + +<h2>About this etext</h2> + + + +<h3><em>The Declaration of Independence</em></h3> + + + +<p> + +The United States Declaration of Independence was the first Etext +released by Project Gutenberg, early in 1971. The title was stored +in an emailed instruction set which required a tape or diskpack be +hand mounted for retrieval. The diskpack was the size of a large +cake in a cake carrier, cost $1500, and contained 5 megabytes, of +which this file took 1-2%. Two tape backups were kept plus one on +paper tape. The 10,000 files we hope to have online by the end of +2001 should take about 1-2% of a comparably priced drive in 2001. +</p> + +<p> + +This file was never copyrighted, Sharewared, etc., and is thus for +all to use and copy in any manner they choose. Please feel free to +make your own edition using this as a base. +</p> + +<p> + + +In my research for creating this transcription of our first Etext, +I have come across enough discrepancies [even within that official +documentation provided by the United States] to conclude that even +"facsimiles" of the Declaration of Indendence will NOT going to be +all the same as the original, nor of other "facsimiles." There is +a plethora of variations in capitalization, punctuation, and, even +where names appear on the documents [which names I have left out]. +</p> + +<p> + + +The resulting document has several misspellings removed from those +parchment "facsimiles" I used back in 1971, and which I should not +be able to easily find at this time, including "Brittain." +</p> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of United States Declaration of +Independence, by Thomas Jefferson + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK U.S. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE *** + +***** This file should be named 300-h.htm or 300-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/3/0/300/ + +Produced by Michael S.

To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To +donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project +Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be +freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and +distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of +volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in +the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not +necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper +edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search +facility: www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + + +</pre> + +</body> + + +</html> diff --git a/300-h/images/whenbnr.gif b/300-h/images/whenbnr.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b32cee0 --- /dev/null +++ b/300-h/images/whenbnr.gif diff --git a/300-h/images/whenwrd.gif b/300-h/images/whenwrd.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..db508d7 --- /dev/null +++ b/300-h/images/whenwrd.gif |
