Declaration of Independence - With Puppies!



Translate this passage from Jefferson's Declaration of Independence into modern English.



Original Text


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, --   


Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence
