In 1775 the people you ask about were not considered important enough to give them rights. All African Americans were slaves, women couldn't vote, own property, work, have a bank account and were chattel. Women won't have voting rights until 1920 . Native Americans had even less consideration and were considered in the way. The world of 1775 belonged to rich white men and that is who wrote the declaration.
