The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of United State are two most important, and enduring document in our Nation's history. It has been said ''the Declaration of Independence was the promise ; the Constitution was the fulfillment.; More than 200 years ago, our Founding Father set out to establish a government based on individual right and the rule of law. The Declaration of Independence ,which officially broke all political ties between the American colonies all Britain ,set forth the ideas and principles behind just and fair government, and the constitution outline how this government would function. Our founding document have withstood the tet of time, rising to the challenge each time they were called upon. Make no mistake, we have been presented with a timeless framework for self -government,but in order to preserve this wonderful gift, we must told these principles close to our hearts.

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 secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from Consent of the Governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these Ends, it right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying it Foundation on such principles, and organizing its power in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Government 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 Form to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their duty
