Right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. so A,C,D. I think pleasure counts as in as happiness

Correct answers are:

  • A) People have the right to the pursuit of pleasure. <em> (Assuming "pleasure" can be used as a synonym for "happiness" -- Jefferson's actual word used. See my explanation note below.</em>)
  • B) People have the right to life.
  • D) People have the right to liberty.

Explanation:

The specific thoughts from the Declaration of Independence are stated like this:  <em>"</em><em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain </em><u><em>unalienable Rights</em></u><em>, that </em><u><em>among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness</em></u><em>.</em><em>"</em>

Thomas Jefferson's thoughts in the Declaration of Independence borrow from the political philosophy of John Locke, who wrote in 1689 that "all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his Life, Health, Liberty, or Possessions."

In either Locke's words or Jefferson's, the idea of "pleasure" isn't really the terminology used.  When Jefferson wrote of the "pursuit of happiness," he had in mind the security of possessions, health, and livelihood - similar to Locke's thoughts.  So it depends on what your teacher is looking for as far as whether answer A is considered correct or not.
