WHEREAS all the constitutional authority ever possessed by
the kings of Great Britain over these colonies, || or their other
dominions, was, by compact, derived from the people, and held of
them, for the common interest of the whole society; allegiance and
protection are, in the nature of things, reciprocal ties, each
equally depending upon the other, and liable to be dissolved by
the others being refused or withdrawn. And whereas George the
Third, king of Great Britain, has refused protection to the good
people of these colonies; and, by assenting to sundry acts of the
British parliament, attempted to subject them to the absolute
dominion of that body; and has also made war upon them, in the
most cruen and unnatural manner, for no other cause, than
asserting their just rights -- all civil authority under him is
necesarily at an end, and a dissolution of government in each
colony has consequently taken place.
And whereas, in the present deplorable situation of these
colonies, exposed to the fury of a cruel and relentless enemy,
some form of government is absolutely necessary, not only for the

deliberations, agreed upon a set of charter rights and the form of

He won a special election to fill the term of the late Senator Frank Lautenberg in 2013 - and became New Jersey’s first African-American senator. He serves on the Senate's Commerce, Science and Transportation, Small Business and Entrepreneurship and Environment and Public Works Committees. Under his leadership as mayor, New Jersey’s largest city, Newark, entered its biggest period of economic growth since the 1960s – the first new downtown hotels were constructed in 40 years, the first new office towers in 20. During Cory’s tenure, overall crime declined and the quality of life for residents improved with more affordable housing, new green spaces and parks, increased educational opportunities and more efficient city services.
