Answer:

Tyranny

Step-by-step explanation:

The self-evident truths as stated in the Declaration of Independence are two: that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights such as “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Nowhere does it establish tyranny as one of them. Jefferson used the term “self-evident truths” to express that these things should be seen as obvious and unquestionable facts.
