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 abolish it…”

Letter Example: Dear George, We have known each other for awhile now and even though sometimes we get along really well, I feel like there are some things that just aren’t working for me. We are supposed to be in this relationship together, but sometimes I feel like you don’t listen to me. That really hurts my feelings. I think that you should listen to my feelings, ask me how I’m doing, and do what you can to make me happy. I just really feel like you’ve been doing a lot of things that are not very nice. If you don’t know what they are, I’ll tell you. You don’t listen to what I have to say You said something mean to your friends about me. You hardly ever listen to my side of a story. You act like you can tell me what to do (like the time I wanted to go across town to see my friends and you said no) You bring your friends to my house and let them eat all my food Sometimes I feel like you’re using me. I have told you over and over that I hate it when you do all those things and you never do anything to change. It just seems like I am annoying you when I tell you how I feel. I think that it would be better for both of us if we broke up. I have made my decision, so from now on please do not try to call me or text me. It will be better for us if we are alone and can spend more time on school and our own lives. From, Jessica Preamble Rights Grievances Attempts to fix problems Declaring Independence!
