The Declaration of Independence was a document adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, in which the thirteen American colonies declared their independence from Great Britain. The passage in question is part of the second paragraph of the document, and it asserts that governments are created to secure the rights of the people, and that it is the right of the people to alter or abolish a government that fails to do so.
