An official unanimous declaration of complete severance between the Thirteen colonies of 'America' and the British throne because of tyranny and depotism.

It means that The People have the power to remove the Government and its politicians should they see fit (and by no small reason), and that the Government and its representatives should never be 'ruling' the people.

Here is the last section of it, after listing all the reasons and facts why the Representatives made the declaration on behalf of the people in those colonies:

(Please be sure to check out the whole Declaration. Very interesting reasons and relevance to January 20th 2021.

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
