Read the following passages from the Declaration of Independence, and explain what they say in your own words.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

This passage is saying that people should not change their government just because they are unhappy with it for minor reasons. It points out that throughout history, people have been willing to tolerate problems as long as they can bear them, rather than trying to completely overthrow the government.
