Each of its own distinctive kind,

equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the

the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive to 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
and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. . . .
