1776 美国《独立宣言》节选:

他(英国)同一些人勾结,把我们置于一种与我们的体制格格不入、且不为我们的法律认可的管辖之下;他还批准这些人炮制的假冒法案,来到达下述目的:

在我们这里驻扎大批武装部队;

用假审讯来包庇他们,使那些杀害我们各邦居民的谋杀者逍遥法外;

切断我们同世界各地的贸易;

未经我们同意便向我们强行征税;

在许多案件中剥夺我们享有陪审团的权益;

编造罪名把我们递解到海外去受审。

在一个邻近地区废除英国法律的自由制度,在那里建立专横政府,并扩大它的疆界,企图使之迅即成为一个样板和得心应手的工具,以便向这里的各殖民地推行同样的专制统治;



For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
