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 the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute 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.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

deafamation

Derogatory/critical remarks/claims made in the presence of the person whom you're throwing under the bus, with the assumption that said criticized individual will not know what you're saying due to hearing-impairment.
A good example of deafamation's "coming back to bite you" is the classic humorous tale of the old fella who got a hearing-aid without his family's knowledge, and then he was able to repeatedly change his will while surreptitiously listening to the conversations of said family-members, since he now knew what they really thought of him and what their future plans were to spend whatever assets he'd originally been planning to leave to them.
