The correct answers are: the declaration of independence speaks of a divine creator and the declaration of the rights of man speaks of a supreme being. Both documents drew on the "natural law" philosophy of John Locke.
Indeed, the Declaration of independence explicitly mentions the Creator in the preamble:
“"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.”
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen mentions the Supreme being in its preamble as well:
“In consequence whereof, the National Assembly recognises and declares, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following Rights of Man and of the Citizen.”
Finally, although both documents draw on the natural law philosophy of John Locke, the American version is more traditional in that it considers that such rights are given to humans by a deity or transcendent being of the same kind while the French version is more secular.
Nationalism serves as a uniting force. The recent World Cup united each country, where people came together as aspirants for their team and, ultimately, their country. These fans were united in cheering for their players and equally united in recovering from defeat. This illustrates the spirit of national identity. By taking a strong sense of who we are, dishonor and fright become foreign concepts. We developed to be bold and confident, sometimes overly so. We become so occupied in our views that we drown in circumstances of opposition. We cross the boundaries to defame others in the name of unity. Unfortunately, that is where unity is no longer present, and the individual is singled out. Mistreating a national identity as superior is not appropriate. Although we are citizens of whatever country, everybody is a citizen of this one planet called Earth.
