Worth Dying For
The Declaration of Independence
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. [more] |
Constitution of the United States
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general
Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the United States of America. [more] |
The Bill of Rights
The conventions of a number of the States having at the
time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent
misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses
should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will
best insure the beneficent ends of its institution.[more] |
