The Declaration of Independence — part II

Here’s another smidge, a skosh (chotto sukoshi), a portion, a helping, a passage of the Declaration:

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.
