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 to 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.

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That's my favorite line from that passage. Didn't the government pass the bail outs against popular vote? Another thing, have you ever noticed were given the same ten or so candidates from each party to vote for President every four years.
