A Very Timely Excerpt for Us
“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.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these
Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their
former Systems of Government. The history of the present is a history of
repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment
of an absolute Tyranny over these States.”
