Declaration of Independence in Spanish:
Retranslation Back to English
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the political ties which have connected
them with another and assume among the powers of the earth the
separate and equal station for which the laws of nature and its
Author entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that they declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are born
equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights: that among these the principal ones are the security of
liberty and life, which constitute human happiness; that to secure
these rights governments were instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed; that
whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these
ends, it is the right of the society to alter it, or to abolish it and
institute a new one, laying its foundations on such principles, and
organizing its powers in a manner it judges most conducive to
effect its security and happiness. Prudence, indeed, dictates that
established governments should not change for light and
transient causes; and experience has shown that mankind is more
disposed to suffer, while the evils are sufferable, than to right
itself by abolishing the forms of government to which it has been
accustomed. But when a train of abuses and usurpations,
continuing invariably towards the same end, makes it clear that it
is the will of the rulers to oppress the people with absolute
despotism, it is their right and their duty to throw away such a
government and provide new guards for their future security.
