11、在费城召 开。大会决定北美殖民地脱离英国而独立，并制定杰斐逊、富兰克林等五人起草北美独立宣言。经过商 定，宣言起草委员会决定将这一重任委托给善于写作的杰斐逊。从1776年6月11日至IJ 28日，杰斐逊满怀激情，写出了独立宣言的初稿，并提交大会批审， 经过两天逐字逐句的讨论和修改，最后于 1776年7月4日该宣言被通过。美利坚合众国从此正式诞 生。|作者简介|托马斯杰斐逊(17431826),生于美国佛吉尼亚州，1726年毕业于威廉与玛丽学院，1787年取得律师资格。杰斐逊于1769年进入殖民地会议，为反英运动领袖之一。1774年发表的小册子英属北美权利概要(A Summary View of

13、me 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 mankindrequires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all

14、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 whenev

15、er 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 effort their Safety and Happine

16、ss.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 ar

17、e 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. Such has been the patien

18、t 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 George III is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute

19、Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his As

20、sent should be obtained, and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formid

21、able to tyrants only.He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manl

22、y firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed

23、 to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.He has endeavored to prevent the population of these Sates; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new App

24、ropriations of Lands.He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries.He has erected a multitude of new office

25、s, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our legislatures.He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.He has combined with others

26、to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:For protecting them by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on th

27、e Inhabitants of these States;For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;For imposing taxes on us without our consent;For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury;For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences;For abolishing the free system of Englis

28、h Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies;For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and alteri

29、ng fundamentally the forms of our governments;For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.He has plundered our seas, rava

30、ged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, a

31、nd totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.He has constrained our fellow Citizen taken captive on the high seas to bear Arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.In every stage of these oppressions we have petit

32、ioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which many define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren.We

33、 have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.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 an
