Every day I think it is not possible to despise RATS more than I do already. Every day I am proven wrong.
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.
Isn't this what we're seeing?
They are "pursuing invariably the same object" of reducing the individual under absolute despotism.
