The key assertion found in the Declaration of Independence is that all men are created equal. This is intended as an explicit rejection of the aristocratic system prevalent in Europe at the time, which was based upon the belief that some people are born better than others, due to "noble blood". It also includes the belief that men are more important than women. Consequently, the structure of government which emerged after the revolution was a kind of limited democracy, in which all adult male citizens had the vote. The persistence of slavery was an anomaly, certainly not consistent with the assertion that all men are created equal, and that was not really addressed until the Civil War.
