"I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Voltaire did not actually say that famous quote. It was written by Evelyn Beatrice Hall in her 1906 biography of Voltaire, summarizing his beliefs on free speech and tolerance. The quote encapsulates Voltaire's advocacy for freedom of expression and open debate.

Voltaire influenced the ideas in the Declaration of Independence by promoting principles of freedom, reason, and equality. His advocacy for religious tolerance and criticism of despotic rule aligned with the values that the Declaration aimed to establish, such as natural rights and the right to revolution. Voltaire's works helped shape the Enlightenment ideals that underpinned the Declaration's assertion of independence and individual liberties.
