Sabrina Nargiz November 1, 2010 U.S. History Period 2 Syria DOI Essay Syrian Declaration of Independence When a government authenticates several deplorable qualities, it is the job of the people, such as us the people of Syria to proclaim independence. We present the reasons for our desire to separate in this document.

A government’s intention is to create bonds with other countries, to sustain peace, and to protect particular natural rights of their people. Bonds are fashioned with other countries so that things such as trade items, and prevention of war can be made available. The rights they must look after are referred to as “god given”, and are called unalienable or natural. These rights are the right to life, liberty, and equality. If a government is unsuccessful at establishing bonds that help us “keep the peace”, or protecting the natural rights of the people, then the people posses the right to protest. If the protests are disregarded and not addressed then the people have the right to destroy or separate from their government. It is in this new government that the born rights of the people will be protected, and the peace will be kept. Our current government has proved inequitable in their acts; we state the evidence of this.

 The government has removed life in random, or prohibited ways.  They have politically issued and enforced disappearances.  They have inflicted torture and brutal, degrading punishments or treatment.  They have issued random acts of detention or arrest.  They have rejected fair public trials.  They have restricted rights of the freedom of speech and press.  They limited the freedom of peaceful assembly and association.  They have restricted the freedom of religion.  They have disregard for the prohibition of forced child labor and the minimum age for employment.

 Movements made by our government have damaged us tremendously, not only physically but also psychologically. They have grasped our freedoms such as speech and religion and twisted them around, they have also tortured and abused us, and we draw the line here. We the people of Syria all agree that in terms of government ours is not helping but hurting us, they are gaining us nothing and loosing us plenty, including our lives. Our “natural rights” as people have been violated instead of protected. Therefore we claim independence from our government. As an independent people, we Syria now have the right to elect a new government, alter and dispose of laws, and declare allies, enemies, peace, and war.

Sabrina Nargiz November 1, 2010 U.S. History Period 2 Syria First Draft Essay Syrian Declaration of Independence November 1, 2010 In time the statement of independence is one made often by unsatisfied groups of people. We the people of Syria now wish to join those who separated by unraveling ourselves from our current government. Providing a decent manner we present the reasoning for the severance in this document.

In truth the sole purpose of government is to create bonds with other countries, to sustain peace, and protect particular natural rights. It is in these bonds and this type of harmony that we are provided supplies from trade and protection from war. At the same time it is also their purpose to guard certain rights of the people. These rights are “god given”, and referred to, as unalienable or natural. They cannot be bestowed upon us, but come in the company of us after birth. These rights are the right to life, liberty, and equality.

If a government fails to “keep the peace” or respect and protect the natural rights of the people, then the people have the right to have all of their comments heard. If the comments are not heard or are disregarded in some way, than the people posses the right to elect a new government. This new government could potentially change the country for the better. It is in this government that the peoples born rights will be protected and given to them, and it also included in this new government that the peace will be kept. In countries such as ours where the government has been consistently unjust, it is in the hands of us the people to break the ties.

The government has proved unfair in their acts. Because one cannot simply state this we provide evidence.

The government has removed life in random, or prohibited ways. Politically issued and other enforced disappearances. Torture, brutal, and degrading punishment or treatment. Random acts of detention or arrest. Rejection of fair public trials. Interference with privacy, home, family, or correspondence without reason. Restricted rights of freedom of speech and press. Freedom of peaceful assembly and association limited. Imposed restriction on the freedom of religion. Societal abuses, trafficking in persons, and discrimination. The disregard of the right to organize and bargain collectively. The lack of prohibited forms of forced or compulsory labor. The disregard for the prohibition of forced child labor and the minimum age for employment.

We the people of Syria all agree that in terms of government ours is not helping but hurting us, they are gaining us nothing and loosing us plenty, including our lives. Our “natural rights” as people have been violated instead of protected. Therefore we claim independence from our government. As an independent people, we Syria now have the right to elect a new government, alter and dispose of laws, and declare, allies, enemies, peace, and war.
