When jefferson wrote the Declaration he used the newest thinking of his time. He had read the Enlightenment thinkers like john Locke and put that thinking to use with his words. The idea that " all men are created equal" was a revolutionary thought. This was a old world of kings who didn't see anyone as equal and who felt they got their power directly from God. The American Revolution put action into the words of the Enlightenment thinkers. We don't see them as revolutionary because they are the foundation of our culture and government, but they are.
