It's the first paragraph of the Declaration of Indepencence:
http://www.friendsacrossamerica.com/declaration.html
What do you think these parts are referring to?
-- it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another
-- a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation
(It would also help you read it if you put the commas in there in the right places.)
Can anyone help explain this?
when 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 earth the separte and equal stations to which the laws of nature and of natures god entitled them a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation

This is the preamble to the U.S. Declaration of Independence. It states that the people need to break away from England.
