Declaration of Independence


The most powerful and unsettling idea in Thomas Jefferson's Declaration on Independence is the idea that whenever any Form of Government becomes irate and distructive that we the people have the right to change and abolish it, and start a new government, because that right there can be so extreme at any point that when we the people ever find our government wrong we can over throw it and start a new goverment.

Ever since I was little and went to Philadelphia to learn about our nations rich history and learned about our Declaration of Independence I have always believed the beginning of the second paragraph is so strong and tells America who we are and what cannont ever be taken away. "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." because that part of the speech Thomas Jefferson wrote all summed up in the most powerful way how everyone is created equal with rights that shall never be taken away.

  2. I think that some people have forgotten that we are in control of the government and not the other way around. It seems more and more are just content to complain rather than step up and do something.
