United States of America Declaration of Independence: New 21st Century Version
by A modern English translation of the Declaration of Independence, re-written so that 21st century people like you and me can understand it better and easier than ever before. God bless America!
We, the Colonists, have repeatedly requested that there be an end to all of our suffering, and we have been responded with more oppression and tyranny. A tyrant like the King of Great Britain is not worthy of ruling free, civilized people. When we asked Parliament to hear our plea, they denied us, regardless of the effort we have put in to understand their sense of justice and goodness. Should England continue to separate themselves from us, we shall declare them as our enemies, yet if they try to compromise with us, we will be friends. Because of our grievances, we claim that we are no longer part of England. The United Colonies are free, and also possess a right to be free. We now swear with our lives, wealth, and honor to acknowledge this Declaration of Independence.
