The Declaration of Independence does not outline the specific civil and political rights that American citizens, or any other citizens for that matter, will receive in the new country. These rights appeared in other documents, such as the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. However, what the declaration outlines are the human rights that all citizens deserve. These include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The adoption of these human rights contributed to the development of subsequent rights.
