" When a long train of abuses and oppressions reveals a government design to reduce the people to living under authoritarianism and despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future well-being and security. Such has been the patient suffering of the people of the corrupted United States of America, and such is now the necessity that constrains them to alter their system of government. The history of the present U.S. government over the past few decades is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of a corrupt and evil tyranny over the people."
