The declaration of independence declares that "all men are created equal."

explain how this principle is expressed in the structure of the constitution or the organization of the united states government.

give an example of a linkage group that promotes or opposes this principle.

give an example of how this principle has affected government policies in the modern era since 1945.

The statement “all men are created equal” was said in a time that, quite frankly, did not truly understand this fact at all. It was written by Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves. When we read this now we find it obvious and powerful, but it took a very long time for it to be put into action. At the time it was written, it was made to mean all white men are created equal. Thankfully this has changed. A group that promotes what this statement should mean, is NAACP. NAACP fights for racial equality and has been since the civil rights movement. This statement, although written by the government, has actually commonly been used against the government. From the beginning of the civil rights movement, people have brought the hypocrisy of this statement to the attention of those in power. It came in handy as a strong argument that ultimately brought the success of the civil rights movement.
