Declaration of Independence

the following content is directed towards U.S citizens and is by no means political, racial or meant to be discriminating in any way towards those who are not U.S citizens. feel free to read anyway. afterall we are the "free" country...right?
how many of the people in the United States of America have actually read the daclaration or the constitution do you think? give me a rough estimate. when you think about it probablly not that many people right? and that seems kind of stupid because it's because of the people who made and signed the declaration and constitution that we are the people we are. i am going to help you out by not just giving you one link but both!the declaration and the constitution!
Favorite line form declaration:"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 to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government."

Favorite line from constitution:"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the commondefence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty toourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for theUnited States of America."
