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

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
Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right
ought to be FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance
to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of
Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent

that are underlined have since been amended or superseded.

Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a

which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or
person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed
an elector.
The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons,
of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.

thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or
inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve
on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal,
death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring
what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the
disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

law, or in the heads of departments.
The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the
recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their
next session.
Section 3. He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of
the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge
necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses,
or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time
of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall

Congress shall make.
The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such
trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall have been committed; but
when not committed within any state, the trial shall be at such place or places as the
Congress may by law have directed.
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against
them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall

propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of
two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments,
which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this
Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or
by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification

The Congress of the United States was created by Article I, section 1, of the
Constitution, adopted by the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787,
providing that All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of
the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
The first Congress under the Constitution met on March 4, 1789, in the Federal
Hall in New York City. The membership then consisted of 20 Senators and 59
Representatives.1

The Senate is composed of 100 Members, 2 from each State, who are elected to
serve for a term of 6 years. Senators were originally chosen by the State legislatures.
This procedure was changed by the 17th amendment to the Constitution, adopted in
1913, which made the election of Senators a function of the people. There are three
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.
