See how funny these ancient historical articles are if we swap some words for others.
As I am Scottish I will do our most revered declaration first The Declaration of Arbroath,
Yet if he should give up what he has begun, seeking to make us or our kingdom subject to the King of England or the English, we should exert ourselves at once to drive him out as our enemy and a subverter of his own right and ours, and make some other man who was well able to defend us our King; for, as long as a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be subjected to the lordship of the English. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
I will swap the words England, for Sea Monster,
Yet if he should give up what he has begun, seeking to make us or our kingdom subject to the King of Sea Monsters, or the Sea Monsters, we should exert ourselves at once to drive him out as our enemy and a subverter of his own right and ours, and make some other man who was well able to defend us our King; for, as long as a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be subjected to the lordship of the Sea Monsters. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
Ok now the US declaration of independence
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.
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 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.
Prudence
indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed
for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that
Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. 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.
I will swap some words,.
We hold these Truths to bea bit true, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights to eat cake, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of cream cakes.
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 abolish it, and raid the cake shops, to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, as getting as much cake for people as possible, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and cake eating.
Prudence indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, not having enough cake is not, . But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, sch as not having enough cake, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, and lack of cake eating, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security, and cake eating.
The fact is most kings were fighting wars, so they could have as many palaces, and cakes as possible, not caring about their people, while revolutions were fought to fight against death making poverty and famine. and wars.
