"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."
----- American Declaration of
