Just a couple of judicious edits...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all ~~men~~ persons 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.
