It's all fine and dandy to quote the Declaration -- just don't forget the part that
actually applies
to the case at hand.
Given the
Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions
with Jefferson's description of the Constitution as a "compact":
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
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.
(yes, the real world has wars)
And real world wars are
about money and power
, and are
enabled by taxation and debt
.
