Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Declaration of Independence a Masterpiece: But How It Got Mutilated John Adams had one, Franklin another, it is said, in England, and Richard Henry Lee another. I follow the fac-simile in Jefferson´s works. The gentleman from Connecticut has submitted and criticised the first paragraph and part of the second as amended and adopted by Congress. I now submit the same portion as it existed before a word was erased or interlined. And this I shall presume to be the work of Paine, though it is quite possible that his careful composition was somewhat marred by the transcribing hand of Jefferson. Indeed, I suspect that in a few instances Jefferson changed the language by inserting words of his own. The words erased in committee or Congress will be indicated in italics, without giving the substituted language: "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a people to advance from that subordination in which they hav hitherto remained, and to assume among the powers of the earth the equal and independent station to which the laws of nature and of nature´s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the change.
