The Declaration
The Founders Forsaw some of today's Problems
The Declaration
The founding Fathers directed the Declaration of Independence at King George III. Much of it could still apply to our current leadership:
"The history … is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."
"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."
"He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither,.."
"He has obstructed the Administration of Justice..."
"He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices..."
"For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world..."
"He is at this time transporting large Armies..to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages"
"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us..."
"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."
Declaration of Independence. In Congress. July 4, 1776.
