An extract from the Declaration of Independence that we should all know off by heart, not only Americans but all people across the world, because it states important truths, in particular the lines highlighted.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, ­­­­­­­­­­­that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.

Have a Great Independence day and mark what it meant then and make it mean something in the future.
