  7. The most important thing that is to me right now is trustworthy. It is important to be honest to others and that was probably the most important thing that could be in the past.

  8. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are some important words in the declaration. Especially because they are in the same sentence. Unalienable, equal rights are also good phrases.Very strong and powerful words. - Stenson

    We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal that they are endowed by there creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life liberty and persuit of happiness.

  12. I think an important phrase was to dissolve a political band that has connected them. Also that all men are created equally. Another good phrase was LIberty and the pursuit of happiness. Some important words were Liberty, happiness, and sufferance.

    I like the part that says When in coarse of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands that hold them together. it talks about people working together.
    I also like how it says one people because it means many people joined together.
    i also like how it says it is our duty to throw off such government.
    because it is showing that we are in charge not the government.

  22. The phrase "all men are created equal" shows that no one should be treated different we are all the same in many ways. Also when it says "Rights of the people" shows that we have our rights and our pride that we can not be told what to do we make our own choices for what to do with our life. "Happiness" is an important word for the declaration because we are trying to make happiness and peace between our two country. Another word that is important is safety because we need to care about ours and others safety.

  25. My first phrase is pursuit of happiness.My second phrase is Powers of the Earth. My second phrase is Governments are instituted among Men,deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. My third phrase is while elvils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accoustoumed. Last but not least my fourth phrase is but when a long train of abbuses and userpations, pursuing invariable the same object envinces a design to reduse them under apsolute despotasim, it is their night, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new Gaurds for thier future security.
