A DECLARATION

BY THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATIONS OF AMERICA,

IN GENERAL CONGRESS ASSEMBLED.

When in the course of human events,it becomes necessary for one people to dissslove 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 ofnature and the Nature's God entitle them ,a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impelthem tothe separation.
