"Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends (life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness),
it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government."
- Thomas Jefferson
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.
- The Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776
