DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE (Part 1)

I am going to spend the next few days recreating here The Declaration of Independence. I think every American needs to read this document. I plan on breaking it up into about 5 segments so that you don't have tons of stuff to read on any one day. Read it, digest it, thank God for it!! Included will be original spelling and, because I am human, there will be typos as well.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
(Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776)

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 the, 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 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 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 organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
