How it applies

– The Declaration of Independence contributed to the development of democracy in that it suggested that people are the source of power.

How it applies• According to the Declaration

of Independence, the purpose of government is to secure the people in their natural rights

– Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

The first paragraph• 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.

The first paragraph• 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 to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government

The Declaration

• Jefferson then begins to list what the King did to cause this rebellion– King George

• Example: He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
