Director of the Federal Register.

Archivist of the United States.

On the cover: The Stone of Hope Statue, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, near the
Lincoln Memorial, on the shore of the Tidal Basin.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) joins the Nation in
celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and
Freedom.
On August 28, 1963, despite searing heat, over 250,000 people from all corners
of the country marched on our Nations capital. In the shadow of the Washington
Monument, all the marchers shared the same dream: equality for the nearly 20 million
African Americans living in the United States. Organized by a coalition of civil rights,
religious, and labor organizations, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
drew hundreds of thousands of participants in support of President John F. Kennedys
proposed civil rights bill. Organizers included A. Philip Randolph of the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters, Roy Wilkins of the National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, John Lewis of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee,
and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
Recordings of Dr. Kings I Have a Dream speech that day have helped it become
one of the best-remembered speeches in American history and a lasting symbol of the
event. The official program for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was
chosen as one of Americas 100 milestone documents.
NARA serves American democracy by safeguarding and preserving the records
of our Government, ensuring that the people can discover, use, and learn from this
documentary heritage. The National Archives has extensive holdings from the March
on Washington, and highlights are online at http://tinyurl.com/NARAMLK50. For more
historical information on the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, visit our
Special Topics and Tools page at www.archives.gov/education/special-topics.html. For

A special thank you to the Creative and Digital Media Services at the Government
Printing Office for providing the photograph of the Stone of Hope Statue, the Martin
Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the cover of the Manual.

Declaration of Independence

Action of Second Continental Congress, July 4, 1776

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776.

THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION of the thirteen united STATES OF AMERICA,

WHEN in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume
among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of
Nature and of Natures God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.That to secure these rights, Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,
as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for
light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind
are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses
and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.Such has been the
patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains
them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King
of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct
object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let
Facts be submitted to a candid world.He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most
wholesome and necessary for the public good.He has forbidden his Governors to
pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation
till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected
to attend to them.He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large
districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation
in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.He
has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant
from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into
compliance with his measures.He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly,
for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.He has
refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby
the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large

for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of
invasion from without, and convulsions within.He has endeavoured to prevent the
population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of
Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the
conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.He has obstructed the Administration of
Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.He has made
Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount
and payment of their salaries.He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent
hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.He
has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our
legislatures.He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to
the Civil power.He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign
to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts
of pretended Legislation:For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they
should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:For cutting off our Trade with all
parts of the world:For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:For depriving
us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:For transporting us beyond Seas to
be tried for pretended offencesFor abolishing the free System of English Laws in a
neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging
its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing
the same absolute rule into these Colonies:For taking away our Charters, abolishing
our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power
to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.He has abdicated Government here, by
declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.He has plundered our
seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the
works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty
& perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the
Head of a civilized nation.He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive
on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners
of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.He has excited
domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants
of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an
undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.In every stage of these
Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated
Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character
is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a
free people.Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We
have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an
unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances
of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to
disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and
correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.
We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and
hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
WE, THEREFORE, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in General
Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude
of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these

twenty five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall
not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen.
Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states
which may be included within this union, according to their respective numbers,

House may provide.
Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for
disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member.
Each House shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publish
the same, excepting such parts as may in their judgment require secrecy; and the yeas
and nays of the members of either House on any question shall, at the desire of one
fifth of those present, be entered on the journal.
Neither House, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the
other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other place than that in which the

House during his continuance in office.

to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by
two thirds of that House, it shall become a law. But in all such cases the votes of both
Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for
and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each House respectively. If any
bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it
shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had
signed it, unless the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case it

of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of adjournment) shall

classes of Senators, and a new class is elected every 2 years.
Senators must be residents of the State from which they are chosen. In addition, a
Senator must be at least 30 years of age and must have been a citizen of the United
States for at least 9 years.

The House of Representatives comprises 435 Representatives. The number


representing each State is determined by population, but every State is entitled to
at least one Representative. Members are elected by the people for 2-year terms, all
terms running for the same period. Representatives must be residents of the State from
which they are chosen. In addition, a Representative must be at least 25 years of age
and must have been a citizen for at least 7 years.
A Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico (elected for a 4-year term) and
Delegates from American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin
Islands complete the composition of the Congress of the United States. Delegates are
elected for a term of 2 years. The Resident Commissioner and Delegates may take part
in the floor discussions but have no vote in the full House. They do, however, vote in
the committees to which they are assigned and in the Committee of the Whole House
on the State of the Union.

The mission of the Department of the Army is to organize, train, and equip active
duty and reserve forces for the preservation of peace, security, and the defense of our
Nation. As part of our national military team, the Army focuses on land operations;
its soldiers must be trained with modern arms and equipment to be ready to respond
quickly. The Army also administers programs aimed at protecting the environment,
improving waterway navigation, controlling floods and beach erosion, and developing
water resources. It provides military assistance to Federal, State, and local government
agencies, including natural disaster relief assistance.
