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. ... The history of the present King of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations ...
