The Declaration - Single Version

[00:12.57] We hold these truths
[00:14.74] To be self-evident
[00:18.67] That all men are created equal
[00:24.25] That they are endowed by their creator
[00:30.85] With certain unalienable rights
[00:36.70] That among these are life, liberty
[00:45.87] And the pursuit of happiness
[00:54.81] That to secure these rights
[00:58.27] Governments are instituted among men
[01:05.04] Deriving their just powers
[01:08.58] From the consent of the governed
[01:16.01]
[01:22.81] That whenever any form of government
[01:27.14] Becomes destructive of these ends
[01:31.53] It is the right of the people
[01:34.52] To alter or to abolish it
[01:37.56] And to institute new government
[01:45.67] Laying its foundation on such principles
[01:49.45] And organizing its powers in such form
[01:53.81] As to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness
[02:07.47] Prudence, indeed will dictate
[02:15.92] That government song established
[02:24.60] Should not be changed
[02:28.84] For light and transient causes
[02:34.13] And accordingly, all experience hath shown
[02:43.78] Though that mankind
[02:47.39] Are more disposed to suffer
[02:50.41] While evils are sufferable
[02:55.02] Than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed
[03:03.72] But when a long train of abuses and usurpations
[03:09.12] Pursuing invariably the same object
[03:13.71] Evinces a design to reduce them
[03:17.79] Under absolute despotism
[03:22.46] It is their right
[03:26.97] It is their duty
[03:31.35] To throw off such government
[03:36.52] And to provide new guards
[03:42.67] For their future security
[03:47.81] For their future security
[03:53.42] For their future security
[03:57.04] For their future security
[04:06.04] Future security
[04:08.71] For their future security
[04:14.65] Future security
[04:19.19]
