"Self-Evident"
“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.”
Take some time today and read
the text of the Declaration of Independence.
“The text of the Declaration of Independence, from “When in the course of human events” through “our sacred honor”, is approximately 1,320 words long. Some versions of the text add, subtract, or change words, which affects the word count. If you include the title from the engrossed parchment, “In Congress, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,” the total word count is 1,337. If you include the names of the 56 signers, the total word count is 1,458.”
