Three new voter tools added - famous documents

I added three important documents to the Voter Tools tonight: the United States Constitution, the United States Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence.

Notice that I started at Wikipedia - while I don't think it's always the most factual, typically an effort has been made to present information in an impartial light. I wasn't looking for conspiracy theories or anything, but it gave me pause when I re-read more than the (famous) first line of the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men 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 in the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

While I don't lean far left, this naturally brings the current administration to mind. Imagine, then, when I came upon this: Bush Moves Toward Martial Law, Thursday, 26 October 2006 (a provision making it easier for the President to declare martial law, stripping state governors of part of their authority over state National Guard units in domestic emergencies).

Is this a reasonable move in avoiding a second major terrorist attack, or is it as over the line as it feels...?
