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.

Resident of State

The principle for discussion on this Constitution Monday is found in Article I.3.3, "A Senator must be an inhabitant of the state which he is appointed to represent." This provision ensured that the people would be represented by two Senators from their own state and not people who were strangers to their circumstances.
