Question

In the opening of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson introduces what distinctly American political thought?

Answer 1

The part that represents the most distinctly American political thought is "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." These unalienable rights have been since the declaration of independence been mentioned numerous times, and will continue to be mentioned as it is the most important aspect of American ideology.
