From the Preamble to The Declaration of Independence:
============================
Prudence indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.
============================
Hasn't our form of government become destructive of the "Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness" that "all Men" are "endowed by their Creator"? Haven't we all been subjected to a "long train of abuses and usurpations" which pursue "the same Object" (namely POWER) under this oligarchy disguised as a democracy?
