What juda christian concept did thomas jeferson use as a core of the declaration of independance?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Basically, all people should be treated equally.

Answer 2

The Judeo-Christian concepts Thomas Jefferson used as the core of the Declaration of Independence derive from Genesis and Exodus of The Bible, where liberty and equality inescapably founded the Jewish people. Just as the Jews regained their freedom through the liberating authority of God, our founding fathers, Jefferson as the author, undoubtedly noticed that freedom from Britain could only come through that same authority; that it was by the grace of God we not only survived the war but did, in fact, gain our freedom, just as the Jews accomplished when they turned to God.

Answer 2

There was no "Judeo Christian concepts" by Jefferson. In fact, it was the opposite. The Declaration of Independence expressed the Enlightenment thinkers like john Locke and it was secular. Jefferson never would have introduced religion in his writings because he was a strong proponent of separation of church and state. He knew the history of the church as a foundation of government and worked to prevent it from happening in the new government. The founders believed in God, but weren't ruled by the belief it belonged in government. They attended many different churches and synagogues and were open to religious equality for all.
