![Page 16: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
They sent a written message to the king,
asking for freedoms and the right to rule
themselves!
![Page 17: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

![Page 18: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men
are created equal …”
![Page 23: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

What are these
“rights”?The right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
![Page 25: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
These basic rights are unalienable-
this means that everyone is born with them and
no one can take them away.
![Page 26: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“…that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness.”
![Page 27: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

for our leaders ?
![Page 28: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“…That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among
Men,”
![Page 29: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Americans also believe that governments should protect our freedoms (our rights.)
![Page 30: 119: July 4th 2016](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062904/58759b4f1a28ab6d198b5335/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Americans believe that we are the ones
who say what government should do for us…
We have the POWER!
