Answer:

He uses the Declaration of Independence

Step-by-step explanation:

The Declaration of Independence supported Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and declared that all men shall be free. Frederick Douglass used this to state that slaves should be free, and have liberty, because they were men.
