Founding Documents

The Declaration of Independence and the Preamble of the Constitution are similar in the way that they both believe that the government can be altered or eradicated if the government becomes too destructive. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it. (Declaration) The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present. (Preamble) And to institute new Government, laying it's foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. (Declaration) Judgement in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law. (Preamble) I believe these are all similar to each other because they deal with changing certain things in the government, from reforms to impeachment of members of the white house. The government can be changed when there is doubt in the current system, especially when the people aren't happy and the members of the government believe something is unjust and affects the right of the people.
