IMPROVED ANSWER

The question is historically incorrect. The Declaration of Independence had nothing to do with freeing black people. That was the 13th amendment (and Emancipation Proclamation) of the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence was a list of grievances written to the King of England stating the reasons why the 13 colonies wanted to separate from England. This document was written way before people were even thinking about releasing the slaves.

The Declaration was published in July 1776, but Congress didn't sign it until Aug, 1776. The result of the Declaration was the revolution. King George, at first, thought of the problems in the colonies as minor, but after Bunker Hill he realized it was much greater and worse than he thought.

What are five truths to be self-evident of your founding fathers?

Asked by Wiki User

I would say the truths were:

All Men Are Created Equal

Endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

Powers from the consent of the governed

Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.

mainly self explain in that section. It seems that in today's world none of those truths have been upheld, we aren't created equal, we aren't allowed to live our lives the way we choose and my pursuit of Happiness, keeps getting blocked by people who are afraid of change.

What does all men are created equal endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It means that everyone is created with rights, by our very nature. Inalienable means that the rights are part of us, not something that we can be separated from. Creator refers to God, but even if you don't believe, it still means that we are all born with rights that aren't given to people differently, but we all have them equally.
