Declarations


When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Hi Emily. Jefferson is saying that there comes a point when someones is pushed so much that they must separate themselves from the bully. If they do this they must explain why. It is the first part of the Declaration of Independence.
