From the declaration of indepencne..please help me understand how equality plays a role in this...?

Question

“we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable right’s, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Answer 1

"all men are created equal"  the right to " life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Sounds self explanatory to me.

Answer 2

Read the first sentence. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. That should be the answer to your question right there. It is saying that all humans have unalienable rights and that all men are created exactly the same and so they should be treated as equals.

Answer 3

it seems self explanatory to me.....

Answer 4

When the declaration of independence was written, equality only applied to white male land owners over the age of 21.
