"Life, liberty"

Interlude: "We hold these truths to be self-evident"

"The pursuit of happiness"

"And secure the blessings of liberty."

"To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

"Burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people"

"The right of the people to peaceably assemble."

"For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments"

"A history of repeated injuries and usurpations."

Conclusion: "All men are created equal".
