The Declaration of Independence says, "all men are created equal, . . . endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights."

All men have rights that cannot be taken away

— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
