He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms:
Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.

A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren.
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.
We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here.
We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.

They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.

We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

let me know if you think Thomas Jefferson missed anything about this 'administration.

As recently discovered in the archives, this was the way Jefferson originally wanted to present it. Given that slavery was still an issue, however, the argument was made that including that line at that time would further entrench the practice and so Jefferson left it out. Most of the Founders believed that with the cessation of importation of slaves and the limited uses for them at the time that the practice would begin to die a natural death starting in 1807. That was prior to the development of short-staple cotton and the cotton gin, which greatly expanded the lands available for cultivating cotton and made it economical to produce in vast quantities. Thus Jefferson's dream of revisiting this important topic was stymied and the subsequent generations never saw the need to bring it up again. Of course, they also tended to side with James Madison that the Constitution set firm bounds outside which the Federal Government wasn't allowed to go - a notion that was steadily eroded by legislation and the Courts so that in today's United States of America, the Federal Government - much to the chagrine of the Founders - now rules as a minor fiefdom.

In all my research I had never come upon this. This so eloquently expresses freedom to act and and the limitations of action, Liberties, when mutually enjoined in "state of society".
I've lost track of how many times I have expressed that the US Constitution needed an objective philosophical "interpretive", a WHY, instead of a HOW of communal governance, as a preamble. I've arrived at something similar independent of Mason's expression.
I'm profoundly grateful for your bringing this into my awareness.
I'm also in the midst of a gut punch of Joy, Sorrow and Yosemity Sam hoppin "F"in Mad!

ALL of the "Founding Documents" NEED to be on display OPENLY AND PROUDLY every day.

Every act of every politician or bureaucrat that says or does something questionable should be required to justify their action or words against the FOUNDATION of this Nation.

I simply do not understand your distaste for VP Puta von harris....

Well, it pleases my heart that you 'feel' that way.

BUT, had you read, AND COMPREHENDED the intent you would have realized the Declaration of Independence was written 244 years ago and FITS THE CURRENT SITUATION PERFECTLY.

Biden thinks he IS a 'king'
