Julia Hestenes U.S. History November 1, 2010 Declaration of Independence of Syria When intolerable events occur, done unto the people by the mother country, the total abolishment of political bonds, which connect the two together, becomes an utter necessity. When this ill-treated group dissolves its bond from its abusers, it is a natural responsibility, given by the Laws of Nature and God’s divine will, to expound the causes in which exhort them to do so.

When one looks at the country of Syria, that person shall immediately observe the unlawfulness and corruption of Syria. In comparison to the vast plethora of governments in our society, outsiders look at Syria’s current government as a blemish on the face of modern day political beliefs; because in the course of time, its government has increased in corruption, not willingly, but in lack of awareness toward protecting the unalienable rights. Syria’s government has failed to commit to its sole purpose—to protect the natural rights: life, liberty, and property. Both men // and // women have these rights bestowed upon them during birth; however, when a governmental body strips these rights away, rebellion is required for the sake of the well being of we, the people. It would be a discourtesy to both groups if insignificant and minor events were the cause of rebellion, but if constant abuses toward our natural rights are present, it is one’s absolute and outright // duty // to create a government that will relieve the people of further oppression and despotism—it will not only succeed in preserving the rights of the people; the new government shall strive to allow further satisfaction and benefit to its own people. We hereby state the abuses committed by the Syrian government in support of our reasoning for declaring independence:

For the unlawful and unnecessary manslaughter of the governed that has been used as practices to show total power, For allowing kidnapping and other disappearances go without investigation, or showing any consideration to these crimes, For torturing, humiliating, and using other violent and cruel acts as punishment for actions that ought not to be punishable, For the declination of fair trial, especially to the majority of pretended offences, For the denial and aggressive punishment of free speech, For prohibiting criticism of present government and consultation of sectarian affairs, For the restrictions of assembly meetings, For displaying misleading statistics of presidential elections, For allowing the discrimination of gender, religion, language and social status, For the nonfulfillment of obtaining genuine representation of religious minorities in government, For prohibiting of the teaching and publication of books written in the languages of ethnic minorities (esp. Kurdish), For the failure to bestow justice upon women who are physically abused, For the lack of respect justified toward women, particularly in the midst of filing a report of abuse, The punishments for some crimes are double the intensity for women than for men, For the accepting of bribery to achieve higher power in security services, military, and government, For the inadequate restitution of deprived property, For the constant invasion of privacy, For the constant monitoring and restricting of people’s virtual interactions,

These interminable usurpations of our unalienable rights force us to create a government that will protect us and our rights, not abuse us.

We, the abused people of Syria, hereby declare independence from the corrupt, tyrannical Syrian government. Of this very day, we become a new independent nation— all political and other power over us shall forthwith be abolished. As an independent body, we now have the rights, and the duty, to act as any other independent might do; to establish commerce, justify a lawmaking body, start wars, create tranquility, and make alliances with those who agree to help protect our rights. We now equally swear on our lives, our fortunes, our honor, and sacred beliefs to one another.

=Declaration of Independence (Draft) =

When intolerable events occur, done unto from the mother country to her governed people, the total abolishment of political bonds in which connect the two together becomes an utter necessity. When this ill-treated group dissolves its bond from its abusers, it is a natural responsibility, given by the Laws of Nature and God’s divine will, to evince the causes in which exhort them to do so.

When one looks at the country of Syria, that person shall immediately observe the unlawfulness and corruption of Syria. In comparison to the vast plethora of governments in our society, Syria is a blemish on the face of modern day ideology; because in the course of time, its government has increased in corruption, not willingly, but in the growth of lack of awareness toward protecting the unalienable rights. Syria’s government has failed to commit to its sole purpose—to protect the natural rights: life, liberty, and property. Both men and women have these rights bestowed upon them during birth; however, when an inferior governmental body strips these rights away from them, rebellion is required for the sake of the well being of we, the people. It would be a discourtesy to both groups if insignificant and minor events were the cause of rebellion, but if constant abuses toward our natural rights are present, it is one’s absolute and outright //duty// to create a government that will relieve the people of further oppression and despotism—it will not only succeed it preserving the rights of the people; the new government will strive to allow further satisfaction and benefit to its own people. To support our reasoning for this declaration, we hereby state the abuses committed by the Syrian government:

For the unlawful and unnecessary manslaughter of the governed has been used as practices to show total power, For allowing kidnapping and other disappearances go without investigation, or showing any consideration, For torturing, humiliating, and using other cruel acts as punishment for actions that ought not to be punishable, For the declination of fair trial, especially to the majority of pretended offences, For the denial and punishment of free speech, For prohibiting criticism of present government and consultation of sectarian affairs, For the constricted restrictions of assembly meetings, For displaying misleading statistics of presidential elections, For the failure to forbid the discrimination of gender, religion, language and social status, For the nonfulfillment of obtaining genuine representation of religious minorities in government, For the prohibiting of the teaching and publication of books written in the languages of ethnic minorities (esp. Kurdish), For the failure to bestow justice upon women who are physically abused, For the lack of respect justified toward women, particularly in the midst of filing a report of abuse, The punishments for some crimes are double the intensity it stands for women than it stands for men, For the accepting of bribery to achieve higher power in security services, military, and government, For the inadequate restitution of deprived property, For the constant invasion of privacy, For the constant monitoring and restricting of people’s virtual interactions,

These interminable usurpations of our unalienable rights enforce us to strive to create a government that will protect us and our rights, not abuse.

We, the abused people of Syria, hereby declare independence from the corrupted, tyrannical Syrian government. All political and other power over us shall forthwith be abolished. As an independent body, we now have the rights, and the duty, to act as any other independent might do; to establish commerce, justify a lawmaking body, start wars, create tranquility, and make alliances with those who agree to help protect our rights. We now equally swear our lives, our fortunes, our honor, and sacred beliefs to one another.
