Governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

Governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

From The Declaration of Independence. 
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the
 thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, 
it becomes necessary for one people to
 dissolve the political bands which have 
connected them with another, and to assume 
among the powers of the earth, 
the separate and equal station to
 which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's
 God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions 
of mankind requires that they should declare 
the causes which impel them to the separation.

Declarations of Independence
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. 



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. —
 Declaration of Independence 1776. 

Declaration of Independence 1776
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. — 
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies
; and such is now the necessity which constrains them
 to alter their former Systems of Government.




a message from the book of mormon 1 Nephi 4

35 And it came to pass that Zoram did take courage at the words which I spake. Now Zoram was the name of the servant; and he promised that he would go down into the wilderness unto our father. Yea, and he also made an oath unto us that he would tarry with us from that time forth.
36 Now we were desirous that he should tarry with us for this cause, that the Jews might not know concerning our flight into the wilderness, lest they should pursue us and destroy us.
37 And it came to pass that when Zoram had made an oath unto us, our fears did cease concerning him.
38 And it came to pass that we took the plates of brass and the servant of Laban, and departed into the wilderness, and journeyed unto the tent of our father.





Isaiah 30:3   Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.  

For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 
12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

1 Kings 22:39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Amos 3:15 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD

  Isaiah 62:10   Go through, go through the gates;
 prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway;
 gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.







 a message from the book of mormon
3 nephi 21 4 For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land,
 and be set up as a afree people by the power of the Father, that these things might 
come forth from them unto a remnant of your seed, that the bcovenant of the Father 
may be fulfilled which he hath covenanted with his people, O house of Israel;
