The first sentence of the Declaration of Independence states "When in the Course of human events, it becomes #necessary for #one #people to #dissolve 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 of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent #respect to the #opinions of #mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
