<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On June 11, 1776, the Continental Congress selected five men to serve on a committee for drafting a Declaration of Independence in accordance with the resolves proposed by Richard Henry Lee. The Committee of Five, John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, Robert R. Livingston of New York, and Roger Sherman of Connecticut, were chosen for this task.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Committee of Five discussed the structure it should follow, then asked Thomas Jefferson, the Virginian, to prepare a draft of the declaration. Thomas Jefferson&#8217;s <strong><a href="https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/declara/ruffdrft.html">first draft</a> </strong>was then discussed and minor edits made by the committee.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Committee of Five would present their proposed declaration to the Continental Congress on June 28, 1776.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">In Congress, July 4, 1776</h3>



<p class="has-accent-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-00d24ef500cc163b5737f8aa08c88b4e wp-block-paragraph">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&#8217;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.</p>



<p class="has-accent-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3b1615e92c04acba6809594fb6ee8e55 wp-block-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.&#8211;That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, &#8211;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 shewn, 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.&#8211;Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.</p>

We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.</p>

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee proposed several resolves in the Continental Congress. These resolves set the stage for the American Colonies to finally separate from Great Britain. And while the Continental Congress did not immediately vote on Lee&#8217;s resolves, after some discussion it did move forward with appointing three committees (one for each piece of the resolves) to begin constructing the documents required by the resolves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many delegates to the Continental Congress wanted to correspond with the legislatures that sent them, to get instructions on how to proceed. The delegates were generally agreed that this was the only recourse left to the Colonies, but things needed to proceed in an orderly, legal fashion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The resolves by Lee were clear and clean as to independence and as to the next steps to take.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Founders of America declared their Independence from the tyranny that had<br>increasingly oppressed them. They declared themselves and their posterity separate from and free from the tyrants who were abusing their individual rights. They fought a defensive war against their mother country which had attacked them with oppressive taxes, abuses in the courts, the military, and even mercenaries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today, we face ever increasing tyranny and abuse from our Public Functionaries. Those we put in positions to secure our individual rights have betrayed us and violate their oaths of office. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have attacked our individual rights and have prostituted us for their own ambitions for popularity, power, and wealth. They have done what they were given<br>the authority to prevent and we are left with the knowledge that we are funding and<br>promoting our own oppression.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is time for American Citizens to wake up and take responsibility for their own<br>governance and get their public functionaries back in line. It is time for a return to<br>limited government!</p>
</div>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the Constitution Party, July 4, 2025</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A Declaration of the Rights of American Citizens, When in the Course of human events,<br>it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have<br>connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the<br>separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature&#8217;s God entitle<br>them, a decent respect to the opinions of the Citizens of America requires that they<br>should declare the causes which cause them to declare their Public Functionaries to be<br>traitors who have violated their oath of office and disregarded the Constitution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equally free and<br>independent, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that<br>among these are Life, Liberty and the right to own and use Private Property.&#8211;That to<br>secure these individual rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their<br>just powers from the consent of the governed, &#8211;That whenever any Public Functionary<br>becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to correct them, and to<br>return Government to its limited form. Prudence will dictate that long established<br>traditions should not be changed for light and passing causes; and accordingly, all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">experience hath shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evil is sufferable,<br>than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But<br>when a long train of abuses and violations, following invariably the same Object,<br>demonstrates a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is<br>their duty, to throw off such Public Functionaries, and to return to the Guards for their<br>future security.&#8211;Such has been the patient sufferance of We the People; and such is<br>now the necessity which constrains them to alter their current Systems of Government<br>and return to the limited government we previously had. The history of the present<br>Oligarchy is a history of repeated injuries and violations, all having the direct purpose of<br>establishing an absolute Tyranny over the People. To prove this, let Facts be submitted<br>to a candid People.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have created a wall of bureaucracy and agencies to insulate them from<br>accountability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent swarms of Officers to harass<br>our people, and take their private property.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have refused to pass laws submitted to them, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have treated some individuals and groups like second-class citizens, violating their Rights for the preferential treatment or benefit of other individuals or groups.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have used the IRS and Law Enforcement agencies to target and harass those who have questioned or resisted them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have repeatedly prevented and persecuted Citizens for speaking out at public<br>meetings, Citizens who have opposed with firmness the invasions on the rights of the<br>people.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have made Judges through bureaucracies who are dependent on their Will alone,<br>for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries, and have<br>directed abuse of justice by their judges.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have repeatedly ignored due process and, without warrants, searched private<br>property and records, taken private property, and imprisoned individuals indefinitely.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have raised and kept among us, Standing Armies of alphabet agencies and<br>bureaucrats to rule in the place of the limited legislature, executive, and judiciary<br>branches of the Constitution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our<br>constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving their Ascent to their Acts of<br>pretended laws:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have bought our schools and indoctrinate our children into their service:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have used the guise of environmental protection to steal our private property and<br>confiscate our assets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For protecting their bureaucrats, by a mock Trial or no trial, from punishment for any<br>abuses which they have committed on the Citizens of these States:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For creating and facilitating conflicts in foreign lands for their own profits:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For wasting our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers, lives and<br>wellbeing and the meager resources of our Citizens, for their wars and conflicts:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent, to pay for unconstitutional expenditures:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For abusing us with the unfettered tax of inflating away our incomes and savings<br>through fiat currency and crushing debt:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For preventing us from using sound money, silver and gold, for currency:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For taking away our Constitutions, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering<br>fundamentally the Forms of our Governments through their judges:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For buying our own Legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to<br>legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have abdicated the right to govern here, by declaring us out of their Protection and waging War against us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They have incited domestic insurrections amongst us and have endeavored to bring on<br>the daily destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In every stage of these Oppressions, We have Petitioned for Redress in the humblest<br>terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Public<br>Functionary, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is<br>unfit to be the representative of a free People.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nor have We been lacking in thoughts of our American brethren. We have warned them<br>from time to time of attempts by their government to extend an unwarrantable<br>jurisdiction over us. We have invoked them by the ties of our common kindred to<br>disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably disrupt our connections,<br>communication, and our unity. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of<br>kinship. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our<br>Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace<br>Friends.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We, therefore, the Constitution Party, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for<br>the correctness of our intentions, do, in the Name of the Citizens of America, solemnly<br>publish and declare, That We the People are, and of Right ought to be Free and<br>Independent; that We are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Oligarchy, and that all<br>political connection between us and the Oligarchy, is and ought to be totally dissolved;<br>and that as Free and Independent Citizens of America, We have full Power and Right to<br>do all other Acts and Things which Free Citizens may of right do. We invoke the return to the Constitution and to a limited government that will secure our inalienable Rights. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We demand that our States get their creation, the U.S. government, back under control. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2026 is the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and some of the many events leading to it.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our new website will be launching on July 4th of this year, and it will launch a yearlong focus on what brought Americans to the point of Declaring Independence from Britain. Be on the lookout for the new site with new interactive ways to see our history and to involve others in our fight to revive America!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In honor of the Anniversary year, we are launching a fund drive of $17.76. Our goal is to give everyone the opportunity to participate in fighting for our freedom. We are asking for donations of $17.76. It can be a one-time donation, or it can be a monthly reoccurring donation. You can also donate $1776.00 if you want, but we are really looking for as many people to participate as we can possibly reach. You can donate to any specific category you wish or just donate to the general fund.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a great opportunity for you to have a conversation with family, friends, or coworkers about our freedoms and the price of saving them.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
