All men are created equal, that every citizen has basic rights that the government cannot either give or take away

Answer 1

(Option 2) "All men are created equal + That every citizen has basic rights that the government cannot either give or take away"

Step-by-step explanation:

(Option 1) -- It isn't specific to the time period, The Declaration of Independence happening during the age of revolutions (Ie, countries declaring independence from colonial empires across the world) -- The rights of the white man from the United States was the goal. [THIS OPTION ISN'T ACCURATE NOR SPECIFIC TO THE TIME PERIOD -- WOMEN GOT THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN 1920]

(Option 2) give a more defined and accurate response, specifically when the Declaration of independnece influences documents such as "The rights of man" or refers to Rousseau's "Social Contract Theory" -- being aware that all citizens are born with innate rights
--

[OPTION 2 -- more historically accurate and reasonable sound]
