The colonists, deeply rooted in the Enlightenment's ideals of liberty and equality, believed that all individuals were endowed with certain natural rights, including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The Declaration of Independence: A Moral Manifesto

In the face of escalating tensions and intolerable oppression, the Continental Congress drafted the Declaration of Independence, a document that would become the moral compass of the American Revolution. Penned by Thomas Jefferson, it eloquently declared the fundamental principles upon which the new nation would be founded.

The Declaration asserted the self-evident truths of human equality and the right of all individuals to pursue their own happiness. It established the government's responsibility to secure these rights and stated that when a government failed to fulfill this duty, the people had the right to alter or abolish it.
