THE VIDEO IS A READING OF *THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE*
OF THE 13 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO CONGRESS ~ JULY 4 1776
1. ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUALLY
Note it does not say *Born Equal* ! The inequality of BIRTH
is one of the greatest inequalities on Earth in the 21st C !
2. THEIR CREATOR GIVES EVERYONE UNDENIABLE RIGHTS TO :
LIFE ~ LIBERTY & HAPPINESS ~ THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN AWAY
Human Rights are still a big issue Globally 243 years later !
3. GOVERNMENTS ARE CREATED TO PROTECT THESE RIGHTS
Totalitarian Governments ~ such as Fascism & Communism do just
the OPPOSITE ! Germany under HITLER & Russia under STALIN !
4. GOVERNMENTS HAVE POWER OVER THE GOVERNED ~ ONLY IF
THOSE BEING GOVERNED AGREE TO IT ! POWER TO THE PEOPLE !
See comment on Item 3.
5. THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE OR ERADICATE A
GOVERNMENT THAT DOES NOT PROTECT THEM. THE PEOPLE ALSO
HAVE THE POWER TO CREATE A NEW DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT !
The French Revolution is a good example !
6. LONG STANDING GOVERNMENTS SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED
FOR MINOR REASONS ! HOWEVER MULTIPLE ABUSES ~ BY THE
RESIDENT GOVERNMENT ~ COULD MERIT REPLACEMENT !
See comment on item 3 !
The Central and main part of the Declaration is a denunciation
of over 25 unlawful activities perpetrated by King George III
and the British Government on the People of the 13 States of
The United States of America ! The Declaration was largely
written by Tomas Jefferson The 3rd President of the USA
(1801 ~ 1809). He also served under George Washington and
was the 2nd VP under John Adams !
Jefferson was a protagonist of Democracy and Individual
Human Rights. He was a great Statesman and doubled the
size of the USA with the Louisiana Purchase. He was The
Ambassador to France ! He is regarded by many as the Greatest
of all the 45 American Presidents to date ~ AMEN !
