"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (all races, creeds, genders, ages, etc.) 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. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."
My "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" and your's is dependent upon our seeing and accepting all persons as created equal..."endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." My independence, your independence, and the nation's independence is dependent upon securing "these truths."
In order to attain "these truths" for all people, we have instituted a government "of the people, for the people and by the people." This government derives its "just powers" with our consent. Such government is dependent upon us (or is supposed to be...)...and we are dependent upon that government to ensure both our own unalienable rights and the unalienable rights of all our citizens are honored.
