<p>WHEREAS all the constitutional authority ever possessed by<br />the kings of Great Britain over these colonies, || or their other<br />dominions, was, by compact, derived from the people, and held of<br />them, for the common interest of the whole society; allegiance and<br />protection are, in the nature of things, reciprocal ties, each<br />equally depending upon the other, and liable to be dissolved by<br />the others being refused or withdrawn. And whereas George the<br />Third, king of Great Britain, has refused protection to the good<br />people of these colonies; and, by assenting to sundry acts of the<br />British parliament, attempted to subject them to the absolute<br />dominion of that body; and has also made war upon them, in the<br />most cruen and unnatural manner, for no other cause, than<br />asserting their just rights -- all civil authority under him is<br />necesarily at an end, and a dissolution of government in each<br />colony has consequently taken place.</p>
<p>And whereas, in the present deplorable situation of these<br />colonies, exposed to the fury of a cruel and relentless enemy,<br />some form of government is absolutely necessary, not only for the<br />preservation of good order, but also the more effectually to unite<br />the people, and enable them to exert their whole force in their<br />own necessary defence: and as the honorable the continental<br />congress, the supreme council of the American colonies, has<br />advised such of the colonies as have not yet gone into measures,<br />to adopt for themselves, respectively, such government as shall<br />best conduce to their own happiness and safety, and the well-being<br />of America in general: -- We, the representatives of the colony of<br />New Jersey, having been elected by all the counties, in the freest<br />manner, and in congress assembled, have, after mature<br />deliberations, agreed upon a set of charter rights and the form of<br />a Constitution, in manner following, viz...</p>
