Why We Seek Independence

Objectives: Describe the course of human events Assert our right to revolution Outline our grievances Declare our independence

Why We Seek Independence The Course of Human Events: It sometimes becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another Let us declare the causes which impel us to this separation

Why We Seek Independence Our Right to Revolution: Some self-evident truths – We are created equal – We have unalienable rights – These rights are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness It is our right to abolish a govt. that abuses these rights These rights must be compelling The following is a list

Why We Seek Independence Grievances against the King: He Has-- Refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. Forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. Refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. Called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

Why We Seek Independence Grievances against the King: He has-- Dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. Refused for a long time, after such disolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. Endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. Obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

Why We Seek Independence Grievances against the King: He has-- Made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. Erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. Kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. Affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

Why We Seek Independence Grievances against the King: He has-- Combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

Why We Seek Independence Grievances against the King: He has-- Abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. Plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is now transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. Constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. Excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

Why We Seek Independence Declaring Our Independence: These United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States They are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved
