[I know it looks a little long, but the Declaration contains statements which are not often brought to our attention.]
"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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. 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. ... The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. ... 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 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 imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: ... For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: ... 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."
--- Fortunately, all WE have to do is vote in November.
“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:”
Thanks, LZ_Bayonet. That’s probably the fundamental aspect of the Declaration.
Remember what Stalin said about voting.
You know, comrades," says Stalin, "that I think in regard to this: I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.

He was taling about votes within the Communist Party, but the same principal applies to other votes.
