Opening Statement:

As stated in the Declaration of Independence, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. We believe Cole is an innocent man because of our Declaration of Independence. "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the people to alter it." Cole did not commit behalf of this statement because we the people have a right to abolish the government.

Devil's advocate:

This Declaration of Independence does not apply to the laws of Great Britain.

Argument:

He is not a subject of Great Britain because America declared it's independence.

When a government has become corrupt the people have the right to overthrow it. People have the right to overthrow the king for the following reasons.
 * refused his assent to laws
 * forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance
 * refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people
 * called meetings in awkward places for the purpose of fatiguing legislative bodies
 * cutting off trade with the rest of the world

Closing Statement: Therefore, We find Cole an innocent man because he is a member of the United States. The Declaration of Independence states that We have a right to abolish the government when the government starts to corrupt the citizen of the country.
