While
Thile formal writing is important, sometimes it is helpful to change a formal
style into an informal one in order to clearly understand the meaning. This
is especially true for historical texts and classic literature.

Rewrite it in an informal style.
When in 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 the earth, the
separate
and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
