The brave patriots who were willing to risk everything to take on the oppressive British government spelled out that promise on July 4, 1776. More than facts, they expressed truths that should be obvious to everyone. They declared that all people were created equal and that God — not the government — gave us these rights, rights that cannot be taken away. They declared that there are many, but the most important are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They further declared that the primary role of government is to secure these rights and that the government only has power given to it by the people.
