FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED;" Paragraph Two, Part One of the Declaration Of Independence, is perhaps the most important political statement ever written by man. By itself, it provided the moral and theoretical justification for the American Revolution. It provides justification for all revolution against tyranny and establishment of Democracy at any time, in any place. It provides the entire moral and theoretical basis for the U.S. Constitution. Within Paragraph Two, Part One, the key concept is that "just powers" of Governments come only "from the consent of the governed." If any government or any part of government ignores and nullifies the will of its people, it has thereby destroyed its own moral justification, and it deserves to be replaced. Here is Paragraph Two, Part One of the Declaration Of Independence. If you haven't memorized it already, now is a very good time to do so, as our U. S. Congress hurtles toward an impeachment which is clearly against the will of the people. "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 to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Paragraph Two, Part One of the Declaration Of Independence, July 4, 1776 How then does Congress presume to remove President Clinton from office when the people clearly want him to remain? They can't beat him in a fair election, so now they want to trash the Constitution in order to impeach him. # # # This document is in the Public Domain.
