How well do you read. In the Declaration of Independence:?

It states we hold it to be self evident - it's our belief - and we believe that it can be seen by anyone.

This was a revolutionary concept in an era of aristocratic privilege and marked the mentality of a religiously enlightened and free people - it singularly differentiated the American People from the people of the nations of Europe with their aristocracies in stating that WE AS A PEOPLE believe this. In the customs of the time one man - a lowly commoner - might declare the king to be no more a man than himself - but as a lowly commoner his opinion was clearly that of the unenlightened and underprivileged class incapable of recognizing the superiority of a monarch or his own station.

When this is declared by a people who are ready to go to war with THE super power of the world - this marked an ambitious - if not in the mentality of the time - a pretentious undertaking to think that a common people with no regard to bloodlines or station could defeat the world's lone Super Power who's empire began to cover more of the globe than any other empire in history.

We hold these truths to be self evident - that all men are created equal - and we are now going to declare war on you as your equal. It had never been done in the era and succeeded - it was a truly revolutionary concept.

Equality did not drive the American Revolution - no - the BELIEF that they were equal and could make their own destiny as any other nation and did not need a King to provide for them drove the American Revolution.

The Quaker's religion was very influential in this regard in the parlance of the 18th century with the habit of addressing all men as "Thee" and referring to the possessives as "thou" and "thine" regardless of station in addition to the Quaker Practice and Custom of refusing to remove one's hat in introduction to others which was customary when addressing those of a higher station - but not so when addressing the common man.

Um, the ones phrases are some of the first traces of the statement. They're now not the first actual, however they're aspect of the preamble. Most men and women understand the ones phrases because the starting of the statement, now not the creation, that is what you're speaking approximately. Obama taught constitutional regulation for a few years, he is aware of way more approximately it than you do. The Obama haters are rather greedy at straws now.

Ok there is not just one answer to this question. Nothing exist if you don't believe in it and to answer the question Our Independence is live and well in America, the only hold back is the People understanding they are as powerful as they want to be, just remember you are a people not a person.

Yes. It is contained in the second paragraph. "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"
