of

America,

in

General

Congress,

Assembled,

appealing

to

the

Supreme

Colonies,

solemnly

publish

and

declare,

That

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

Alliances,

establish

Commerce,

and

to

do

all

other

Acts

and

Things

which

Independent

of

right

do.

And

for

the

support

of

this

Declaration,

with

a

firm

reli

ance

on

the

Protection

of

Divine

Providence,

we

mutually

pledge

to

each

other

our

Lives,

our

Fortunes

and

our

sacred

Honor.

因此，我们，在大陆会议上集会的美利坚合众国代表，以各殖民地善良人民的名义并经他们授权，向全世界最崇高的正义呼吁，说明我们的严正意向，同时郑重宣布;这些联合的殖民地是而且有权成为自由和独立的国家，它们取消一切对英国王室效忠的义务，它们和大不列颠国家之间的一切政治关系从此全部断绝，而且必须断绝;作为自由独立的国家，它们完全有权宣战、缔和、结盟、通商和独立国家有权去做的一切行动。为了支持这篇宣言，我们坚决信赖上帝的庇佑，以我们的生命、我们的财产和我们神圣的名誉，彼此宣誓。
