Sheesh...this guy sounds like a 5th grader trying to get a passing grade in civics class...he can sound out the words, but has no clue what they mean

tribune . The Declaration of Independence gives people Rights the Constitution created a way of taking away the RIGHTS that people fought and died for. Creating Slavery destroying the RIGHTS of people to live Free without GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE.

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

Our construction has done very well for our Nation since it's creation. It is a living document that can be changed with amendments. It is the backbone of our Country abd has made the United Ststes of America the best country in the world. To throw it away and start over would be a disaster.

Mikey, the last sentence contains the words "absolute despotism." If you go to the preamble of the constitution, you will see why we have a constitution. Trump has declared that he intends to dispense with the constitution ergo, he intends to inflict us with absolute despotism.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION

of the

THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

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.

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.
