English Translation of Lincoln's Declaration of Freedom

Chinese:

In the course of the development of human affairs, when a nation must be separated from another nation and stand in the world nation's forest in an independent and equal capacity according to the laws of nature and the will of God, out of respect for human public opinion, the reasons driving its independence must be announced.

We hold the following truth to be self-evident: all men are created equal, and the creator endowed them with certain inalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In order to protect these rights, people established a government among them, and the legal rights of the government were granted with the consent of the ruled. Once any form of government undermines the realization of these goals, the people have the right to replace or abolish it in order to establish a new government. The principles on which the new government is based and the way to organize its rights must make people think that only in this way can they be most likely to achieve security and happiness. To be prudent, a government that has been established for many years should not be replaced for irrelevant and temporary reasons. All past experience shows that human beings are willing to endure any hardships, as long as they can endure it, and do not want to abolish their customary forms of government for the sake of peace. However, when a series of abuse of power and extortion that always pursue the same goal show that the government is trying to put the people under tyranny, the people have the right and obligation to overthrow such a government and provide new guarantees for its future security. This is how these colonies suffered in the past, and why they must change the government system now. The history of the Kingdom of Great Britain today is a history of repeatedly hurting and plundering these colonies, and its direct goal is to establish a dictatorship and tyranny over the states. In order to prove the truth of the above sentence, the facts are now made public and judged by a just world.

He refused to approve the laws that were most beneficial and necessary for the public interest.

He forbade his colonial governor to approve urgent and extremely important laws, or shelved them before obtaining his consent, and after they were shelved, he completely ignored them.

He refused to approve other laws that are convenient for people in large areas unless the people in these areas are willing to give up their representation in the legislature; Representation is extremely precious to the people, and only tyrants are afraid of it.

He called state legislators to an unusual and uncomfortable place for a meeting, far away from their files, with the aim of exhausting them and forcing them to submit.

He repeatedly dissolved the state houses of representatives because the latter firmly opposed his violation of people's rights.

After he dissolved the House of Representatives, he refused to choose another person for a long time, so this inalienable legislative power was exercised by ordinary people, making the States still in danger of foreign invasion and internal riots.

He tried to stop the states from increasing their population. To this end, he blocked the adoption of the naturalization law for foreigners, refused to approve other laws to encourage immigration, and improved the conditions for allocating new land.

He refused to approve the law establishing judicial power to obstruct the implementation of justice.

He forced the judge to be under his own will in order to keep his tenure, the amount of salary and payment.

He indiscriminately set up a new government office and sent a large number of officials here to harass our people and embezzle their property.

In peacetime, he kept his standing army among us without the consent of our legislature.

He exerted influence to make the army independent of the civilian regime.

He colluded with others, put us under the jurisdiction that did not conform to our laws and regulations and was not recognized by our laws, and also approved all kinds of fake bills they concocted so that they could station a large number of armed forces among us; No matter how serious these people commit murders on the residents of our States, he can shelter them with extra trials and let them get away with it; He can cut off our trade with the rest of the world; Tax us without our consent; In many cases, we are deprived of the rights and interests of the jury system; Escort us overseas for trial on trumped-up charges; He abolished the free system of English law in a neighboring province, established an authoritarian government there, expanded his territory, and immediately became a model and a suitable tool to promote the same authoritarian rule to the colonies here; He abolished many of our charters, our most precious laws, and fundamentally changed the form of our state government; He prevented our legislature from exercising its power, claiming that they had the right to make laws for us under any circumstances.

They abandoned the government here, declared that we were no longer protected by them, and launched a war against us.

He plundered our waters, ravaged our coastal areas, burned down our towns and ruined the lives of our people.

At this time, he was transporting a large number of foreign mercenaries to engage in his activities of creating death, desolation and tyranny. His cruelty and meanness can't even be compared with the most barbaric times from the beginning, and he is totally unworthy to be the head of a civilized country.

He forced our compatriots captured by them on the high seas to take up arms against their own country, making them executioners to kill their relatives and friends, or letting them die at their hands.

He incited civil strife among us and tried his best to provoke the ruthless Indian Man Zi to deal with the residents of our frontier. As we all know, the fighting principle of Indians is to shoot and kill regardless of gender, age and right and wrong.

At every stage of these oppression, we call for correction in the most humble language. And our wishes again and again only get hurt again and again.

Everything a monarch can do only a tyrant reveals his character, and he is not worthy of being a free people.

It's not that we didn't think of our English brothers. Their legislature wants to extend unreasonable jurisdiction to us, and we often inform them of this attempt. We also told them that we immigrated and settled here. We have begged them to have a natural sense of justice and generosity, to think of the same clan, and to abandon these predatory behaviors, because these predatory behaviors will inevitably interrupt our relations and exchanges. But they also turned a deaf ear to this call for justice and blood. Therefore, we should get rid of them and treat them like other nationalities in the world: it is the enemy who fights with us; Those who make up with me are all friends.

Therefore, we, the representatives of the United States of in the name of people, gathered at the continental congress, appealed to the highest referee in the world with the goodwill of the colonies and their authorization, explained our serious intentions, and solemnly declared:

Our unified colony is, and should be, an independent and free country based on justice; All our obligations of loyalty to the British royal family and all our political ties with the Kingdom of Great Britain have been severed and must be severed.

As an independent and free country, we have every right to declare war, conclude peace, form alliances, conduct trade and take all actions that an independent country has the right to take.

We firmly believe in the blessing of the gods, and swear to each other with our lives, property and sacred reputation to support this declaration.

English:

In the process of human activities, it is necessary for a nation to break away from another nation. According to the laws of nature and the rights entrusted to them by the God of nature, the independent and equal political status in the world drives them to announce the reasons independently out of respect for human opinions.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that the creator has endowed them with certain inalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In order to obtain these rights, people established a government among them, and the rights of this government were granted by the rulers. Once any form of government achieves self-destructive effect, the people have the right to change or abolish and establish a new government. The principles and organizational basis of the new government have become the way of people's rights, so that only the most possible way can make them secure and happy. If we really want to be cautious, the government that has been established for a long time should not be replaced for insignificant and short-term reasons. All past experience shows that any pain shows that human beings are more inclined to suffer, and evil can be tolerated, rather than correcting themselves by abolishing their accustomed forms. However, when the pursuit of the same goal and a series of abuse of power and extortion show that the government is trying to put the people under tyranny, the people also have the obligation to get rid of the rights of such a government and provide new guarantees for their future security. This is what the colonies endured in the past, and that is why they have to change the government system now. Today's history of the Kingdom of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and plunder, all of which are aimed at establishing an absolute tyranny. In order to prove this point, now all the facts will be proved, so that a frank world.

He refused to approve the most necessary laws in the best interest of the public. and

He forbade the colonial governor he approved and the incumbent of extremely important laws to shelve these laws, or first, he completely ignored them until he got his permission and these laws were shelved.

He refused to approve the accommodation of people in large areas unless other legitimate local people gave up their representation in the legislature; A right that is immeasurable to them is extremely precious, and only tyrants have it.

He called state legislators to unusual, uncomfortable and far away places to attend archived meetings, with the purpose of making them tired and forced to submit.

He has dissolved the House of Representatives many times because the latter firmly opposed his violation of people's rights.

After he refused the atonement sacrifice and denied the inalienable for a long time, like others, he has restored the legislative power exercised by ordinary people; There are still many dangers of invasion and internal unrest in this state during this period.

To this end, he tried to prevent the States from increasing the population that hindered the naturalization of foreigners; Refuse to encourage their migration through others, and refuse to approve new land allocation that is legal and improves conditions.

He refused to approve the law establishing judicial power to prevent judicial implementation.

He enables judges to have tenure, and the amount and payment of their salaries are completely at his disposal.

He set up many new offices and sent a large number of officials here to harass the representatives of our people and eat their materials.

In peacetime, he maintained his standing army without the consent of the legislature among us.

His military influence is independent of and above the civilian regime.

He joined forces with others, put us under a jurisdiction that did not conform to our laws and regulations and was not recognized by our laws, and also approved all kinds of fake bills they handled, so let it station a huge armed force among us; No matter how serious these people are trying the residents of our state for murder, he used to shelter them and now he lets them get away with it; He can cut off world trade with us; Impose taxes on us without our consent; In many cases, the jury system deprives us of our rights; The United States conducted overseas escort trials on false charges; He abolished Britain's free legal system in a neighboring country, established an autocratic government there, expanded its territory, and immediately made it a sample and a suitable tool to implement the same autocratic rule for the colonies here; He cancelled many of our charters, abolished our most precious laws, and fundamentally changed the form of our state government; He terminated our own legislature and declared that they had the power to legislate for us under all circumstances.

Give up the government here by declaring that we are not protected by them and waging war against us.

He raged in our waters, plundered our coastal areas, burned our towns and ruined the lives of our people.

At this time, he is transporting a large number of foreign mercenaries to complete the activities of death, desolation and tyranny. His cruelty and treachery are incomparable in the most barbaric times, and he has to be completely unworthy of being the head of a civilized country.

He forced us to capture their compatriots on the high seas, take up arms against their country, become his friends and kill their executioners, or make them die at the hands of his friends and relatives.

His domestic riots among us, and the media inciting ruthless Indian barbarians against the residents of our border, their rules of war are indistinguishable from men, women and children, gender and conditions.

At every stage of these oppression, we ask for correction in the most humble language. And again and again, we are willing, but we can only be repeated and hurt again and again.

A monarch, whose character is marked by every behavior that only a tyrant can show, is not suitable to be the ruler of a free nation.

We are not lacking in care for our English brothers. Their legislature has extended improper jurisdiction to us, and we often inform them of this attempt. We have told them that our immigrants came here and settled here. We call on them to be born just and magnanimous, and read in the same blood relationship, and reject these usurpations, which will inevitably interrupt our contact and communication. But this kind of justice has turned a deaf ear to them and their kin. Therefore, we must start from their world and look at who they are fighting with me with the attitude of treating other nations: they are enemies; With my friends, namely discrimination and.

Therefore, we, the representatives of the United States of America in the colonies who gathered on the mainland, show our serious accusations and intentions with kindness to in the name of people and their authorization to the highest judge in the world, and solemnly publish and announce:

Our United colonies are, and should be, independent and free countries according to justice; We all have the obligation to be loyal to the British royal family. All political ties between us and the Kingdom of Great Britain have been severed and must be severed.

As an independent and free country, we have every right to declare war and be responsible for all actions taken by associations, alliances, trade and independent countries.

We firmly believe in God's protection and support this sacred oath with our lives, property and reputation.
