TheUSAPresidents.com TheUSAPresidents.com We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable 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, 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
The preamble justifies why the Declaration of Independence was made. It is likely the most famous part of the declaration. It says that the colonies believe all men should be treated equal, and that they are deserved rights that should never be taken away, and that in order to keep such freedom, the government should be chosen by the people. It says that if a government begins to stop doing so, it is right for the people to abolish that government. It explains that a government should last, and not go down to taking people's rights. With that, the preamble basically argued against the monarchy, because it says that it is out of touch, and that it is completely justified for the colonies to rebel.
