THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, asserting the natural dignity of the human person, that God has given man certain inalienable rights, among them Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. The idea of human dignity, that we are created in the image of God, forms the theological basis for human equality and liberty.
As the first formal statement by a nationâs people asserting their right to choose their own government, the Declaration of Independence became a significant landmark in the history of democracy.
