Question

Why do the signers of the Declaration proclaim that equality of all people to be "self evident" and their rights "unalienable"? Why do they maintain that democracy is ordained by the laws of nature?

Answer 1

Answer: All men regardless of gender, race, ability or any other qualifier are the moral equal of every other individual. This is the first self-evident truth and the foundation of any and all independence in America.

Explanation:

According to Jefferson and other prominent thinkers of his time, such statements as “all Men are created equal” and “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights' are obviously true. Such statements do not require proof.
