“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and independent; that from that equal creation they derive in rights inherent and inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, and liberty and the pursuit of happiness;
that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; (…) laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness (…) the road to (glory and) happiness is open to us too;
we will climb it appart from them (…) And for the support of this declaration we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honour”.
