A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have w r e been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of at- tempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circum- stances of our emigration and settlement here. We have ap- V\r^>i pealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ti...es of our common kindred to dis- avow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspond- ence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the ne- cessity which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends. We, therefore, the repre- sentatives of the United States of America, in General Con- gress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these Colonies, sol- emnly publish and declare that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States; that they are absolved from all alle- giance to the British crown, and that all political connec- tion between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as free and indepen- dent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliance, estab- lish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which in- dependent States may of right do.
