My Theory of the Importance of Government; By the People,Of the People, and For the People

The quotes below not only changed peoples live but changed history and the world forever.They show Independence,liberty,and what people will do when it is deemed necessary. They also show and symbolize that 'When something goes wrong,those who have the power to fix it,have the responsibility to do so'.

"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."

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these 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"


"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and provide new Guards for their future security."  

These quotes of helped found many countries, and people, they are most likely the most important words ever written regarding a democracy or any government.

I think beleive that any one person can change the course of human events, but no matter how powerful that one person is; A group of people can be much more powerful. In fact, to quote, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."; These words could never be more true.

I will leave you with the question of: "Have I ever read through the United States Constitution or Deceleration of Indepence?" If not, than "How can you decide the fate of an entire country?"

Around the world,and to me, this flag represents many things:revolution, Independence, natural rights, liberty, and most of all the importance of the people in a government. No one can ever try to fight against how much I believe, respect and love the flag and quotes above.If anyone doubts my high respect and love for the above, I will have no choice but to fight for it. Mostly using the quote by the Founder of the US Navy, John Paul Jones who stated, "I may not believe in what you say,but I will fight to the death your right to say it". And he did so.
