Too Small
•When in the Course of human events,
•it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have
connected them with another,
•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.
•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
•the pursuit of Happiness.
