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 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.

While this was specifically aimed at George, III, that was the wording of the document leading to and further defining the “contract” eventually made by the states with the central government.
If someone can point me to where the Founders wrote and signed off on a Declaration of DEPENDENCE (on the central government — our NEW and IMPROVED king), I’d LOVE to see a copy. In fact, please post it here for all to see and marvel at.
