This statement suggests that people often endure hardships and injustices rather than taking action to change their circumstances, especially when those hardships are bearable. It reflects a tendency towards complacency, where individuals might prioritize stability over the uncertainty of change. This phenomenon can stem from fear, resignation, or a belief that improvement is unattainable. Ultimately, it highlights the challenge of motivating individuals to confront and rectify social and personal injustices.

What does hath shewn mean?

'Hath shewn' means the same as 'has shown'. As in, "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". Thomas Jefferson. 'Hath' means 'has' in the same way that 'doth' means 'does'. You can consider them abbreviations for 'haveth' and 'doeth'.

What does 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 mean?

Let's approach the answer to this question by using the analogy of the lemmings. As their population grows, the resources, which allow their survival, start to diminish. At some elusive point in their population numbers, a paradigm shift occurs, whereby many commit suicide by running over the proverbial cliff, thereby adjusting their numbers to available resources (carrying capacity). But by no means is this decision arrived at lightly. Likewise in the Declaration of Independence, people will tolerate a certain amount of suffering in order to avoid the major upheaval caused by changing the very system or structure of government which is causing the suffering (the lesser of two evils); therefore, the decision to change does not and should not come lightly. At some elusive point the evils become insufferable and a push for change becomes inevitable. DB

Who can remove the persident from his office?

Anyone can, it is stated in the declaration and I quote: 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.


when is it acceptable to change your goverment?

Look at the Constitution. It says it here: We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are … endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men…. 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. … 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. Declaration of Independence (1776).

What does Pandora's boxmean?

In Greek Mythology, there was a beautiful woman named Pandora. Pandora's downfall was not evilness, but her curiosity. She was given a box by the gods and told to keep it safely, but never to open it. Of course the temptation proved too great for Pandora, who eventually lifted the lid on the box, releasing the beginning of sorrow for mankind. As it turned out, each of the gods had placed evils that plague men such as, suffering sickness, hatred, greed, and mistrust... and all other things that bring unhappiness to man. Pandora tried to close the lid, but it was too late, from the moment she opened the box and set forth its evils, mankind would forever suffer the burdens brought upon him. One bit of good was left in the jar when she closed it, and that was hope.
