Скачать или смотреть Enlightenment in the Declaration

The United States Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776, and primarily authored by Thomas Jefferson, profoundly asserts that all individuals are inherently equal and endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It drew inspiration from various sources such as John Locke's emphasis on natural rights to life, health, liberty, and possessions, William Wollaston's 1722 treatise emphasizing happiness through reason and truth, and Blackstone's legal commentaries. Additionally, the Virginia Declaration of Rights, adopted on June 12, 1776, by George Mason, likely influenced Jefferson's drafting by articulating the natural rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness and safety. These declarations marked the American colonies' formal break from British rule and encapsulated the Enlightenment principles foundational to democratic governance and civil liberties in the United States and beyond.
