Answer 1

A. 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.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the rule of law promoted by the enlightenment thinkers, the law should have higher power than any government and solely exist to protect the rights of the citizens and improve the quality of life. The laws were not for fulfilling the interest of the government.

That part of the declaration of independence high light how the government should value "unalienable rights"

Unalienable rights were a list of rights that should be protected by the government at all cost through the implementation of important legislations. This is very much aligned with The enlightenment's idea of the rule of law.
