"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."
-Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence
