Which of the following would best support the claim that the
Founding Fathers believe their sovereign (king) has mistreated
them?
Me
"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..."
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed..."
"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."
O "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light
and transient causes..."
