When, long after the spirit of the constitution has departed, moderation is at length so far lost by those in power, that even  \nthe semblance of freedom is removed, and the forms themselves of the constitution discontinued, and so far from their petitionsand remonstrances being regarded, the agents who bear them are thrown into dungeons, and mercenary armies sent forth to force a new government upon them at the point of the bayonet.  \nWhen, in consequence of such acts of malfeasance and abdication on the part of the government, anarchy prevails, and civil society is dissolved into its original elements. In such a crisis, the first law of nature, the right of selfpreservation, the inherent and inalienable rights of the people to appeal to first principles, and take their political affairs into their own hands in extreme cases, enjoins it as a right towards themselves, and a sacred obligation to their posterity, to abolish such government, and create another in its stead, calculated to rescue them from impending dangers, and to secure their future welfare and happiness.  \nNations, as well as individuals, are amenable for their acts to the public opinion of  \nFree K-12 Educational Materials Online [www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nmankind. A statement of a part of our grievances is therefore submitted to an impartial world, in justification of the hazardous but unavoidable step now taken, of severing our political connection with the Mexican people, and assuming an independent attitude among the nations of the earth.  \nThe Mexican government, by its colonization laws, invited and induced the Anglo-American population of Texas to colonize its wilderness under the pledged faith of a written constitution, that they should continue to enjoy that constitutional liberty and republican government to which they had been habituated in the land of their birth, the United States of America.  \nIn this expectation they have been cruelly disappointed, inasmuch as the Mexican nation has acquiesced in the late changes made in the government by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who having overturned the constitution of his country, now offers us the cruel alternative, either to abandon our homes, acquired by so many privations, or submit to the most intolerable of all tyranny, the combined despotism of the sword and the priesthood.  \nIt has sacrificed our welfare to the state of Coahuila, by which our interests have been continually depressed through a jealous and partial course of legislation, carried on at a far distant seat of government, by a hostile majority, in an unknown tongue, and this too, notwithstanding we have petitioned in the humblest terms for the establishment of a separate state government, and have, in accordance with the provisions of the national constitution, presented to the general Congre","cbCaiarKZjy6HpEe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiarKZjy6HpEe","pdf",36075,"English","# Texas Declaration of Independence\n## Unanimous declaration and context\n## Grievances against the government","[{\"question\":\"What major grievances are listed in the declaration?\",\"answer\":\"The declaration lists rejection of a republican constitution, imprisonment, failure to secure trial by jury, lack of a public education system, oppression by military commandants, dissolution of state congress, and attacks on commerce.\"}]","TEXAS DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE - Unanimous Declaration of Independence made by the Delegates of the People of Texas | PDF",1792386484]
