 * Declaration of Independence** (//Final//)

In a life full of suffering, unlawful deaths, and merciless punishments, is it so wrong for people to be against the government? When the people and their government have so many issues between each other, the people should have the right to break free and form a better government with a greater understanding of the people’s natural rights. The North Korean government has been violating the rights of the citizens and it is necessary for us to declare independence.

All people have natural rights. We, the people of North Korea, believe that we have the right to life, liberty, and freedom of speech. We also have the right to vote and should have a say in government. The reason that government was first established was to defend these rights. Without it, there would be no one to make sure the natural rights were protected. Therefore, the people should have the right to overthrow the government when it doesn’t guarantee our rights.

In fact, the North Korean government has committed multiple human rights violations. The law states that people have a right to a public trial but Kim Jong-il, has been ignoring this law and continues to order unauthorized killings and punishments. The voting for the ruler was not free, to ensure that Kim Jong-il received the throne. He denies us of freedom of speech, we have no say in government, and the he controls all information. Minor crimes such as fraud, kidnapping, smuggling, and trafficking result in death. Other crimes result in horrible punishments or excruciating torture. Some pregnant women in prison have had forced abortions or their children were killed at birth.

Because the government has been violating every single natural right the citizens of North Korea possess, we must take the matters into our own hands. The purpose of government is to protect these rights, and if the government chooses not to do so, something must be done. We have no choice but to break away and abolish the unstable government.
