Hey, King: Get Off Our Backs!

Phrases to Know Unalienable rights Pursuit of happiness Natural rights Consent of the governed Just powers Self-evident Rights people are born with Can be seen just by looking at it Permission of those under the government’s rule Rights that cannot be taken away Trying to find joy and contentment Powers that are fair

PREAMBLE Sometimes it becomes necessary for one group of people of cut ties with another group of people. When one group of people decides to separate from another, they should explain why.

NATURAL RIGHTS All men are created equal. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are “unalienable rights.” Government must get its power from the consent of the governed. When government threatens peoples’ natural rights, the people have the right to abolish it and make a new government.

RESOLUTION OF INDEPENDENCE We pledge our lives, fortunes, and honor in support of this Declaration of Independence. We now cut all political connection with Great Britain. We declare that the colonies are and should be free and independent states.

GRIEVANCES The king has refused to agree to laws that would benefit the people. Our own governments have been abolished. The king has caused fighting among the colonists. Our trade with the rest of the world has been cut off. The king gets to decide whether the judges keep their jobs and how much they get paid. New laws have taken away our right to a jury trial in many cases. The king has opened new government offices and sent “swarms of officers to harass our people.” The king has tried to keep people from coming to the colonies to live. The king has housed large numbers of troops in our communities.

Extra Credit: Memorize the beginning of the Delectation of Independence and recite to me by next class to receive 20 points extra credit. We hold these truths to be self-_____________, that all men are created ___________, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable ___________, that among these are _________, _______________, and the pursuit of ___________________. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just ________________ from the ______________ of the governed, That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the ______________ to alter or ________ it…. evident equal rights life liberty happiness powers consent people abolish
