Foundations of the United States
From the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men 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….”
From the Constitution:
“We the People of the United States, In Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,
insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and
secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution of the United States of America.
From one of our Founding Fathers:
“The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments, or musty
records. They are written, as with a sun beam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand
of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.”
Alexander Hamilton, 1775
