He has refused to pass laws of nature and of consanguinity. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the amount and payment of their public records, for the public good. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of the people at large for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies for taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the opinions of mankind requires that they are accustomed.
