"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..."
GO TO: THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
OVERREACH VS OVERREACH:
This was a carefully written document designed to
limit overreach by interests in Great Britain wanting to control a fledgling
United States. But since this time; the United States has been taken
over by corporate interests and/or crooked politicians and/or judges wanting to water down the basic rights of all Americans. Therefore; this all leads us
directly back to the Declaration of Independence and/or Unalienable Rights endowed by "their Creator"; meaning NO LIVING BEING can deny individuals of
these basic rights which were essentially written in stone (and/or placed in a locked box) for all
generations of Americans to enjoy their natural rights and/or ensuing natural freedoms.A) "The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States..."
B) "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..."
Note: The "Laws of Nature" are rights that every living being is born with; rights that cannot be denied by ANYONE. These rights pertain to the basic freedoms nature provides for all creatures within it's realm...
"ONES' PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS SHOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE REQUIRED TO SERVE THE COMMON GOOD; BUT IT SHOULD ALSO NOT ALTER AND/OR DISTURB THAT COMMONALITY EITHER..."
"ONES' PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS SHOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE REQUIRED TO SERVE THE COMMON GOOD; BUT IT SHOULD ALSO NOT ALTER AND/OR DISTURB THAT COMMONALITY EITHER..."
It should be noted that from the time Jefferson was named to the committee of five to write the Declaration of Independence to the time it was submitted to the Congress took only seventeen days; while it took roughly 14 years to ratify the United States Constitution.
ReplyDeleteThe Declaration was written in relative haste; in reaction to excess taxation and/or tyranny -- while more thought was put into the U.S. Constitution. Regardless; The Declaration speaks to the basic freedoms we all seek...
...And it doesn't really matter if the interpreters don't believe in a "creator"; THAT'S WHAT IS WRITTEN; THEREFORE IT HAS TO BE FOLLOWED...
