The Declaration of Rights, particularly in the context of documents like the U.S. Declaration of Independence or the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, did not protect enslaved people, women, and indigenous populations. These groups were largely excluded from the rights and liberties guaranteed to citizens, reflecting the societal norms and prejudices of the time. Consequently, their rights were not acknowledged, perpetuating systemic inequalities and injustices.
The Declaration of Independence (I assume that is what you are referring to) was written to declare our independence from England. Contrary to common belief, this document has no form of government. Our modern government is not directly affected by the Declaration at all. Basically, people were sick of England's grip on our nation. A group of men came together and officially declared independence by means of the Declaration of Independence.
The five people were :Thomas Jefferson,John Adams,Benjamin Franklin,Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston

Abraham Lincoln believed that all peoples were covered by the Declaration of Independence. He argued that if Blacks could be excluded then other people could also be excluded. In that situation, Lincoln argued that no group was safe.
