Declaration of Independence

Explanation:

Richard Henry Lee, an American statesman and Founding Father from Virginia, brought what was termed the ‘Lee resolution’ to the continental congress and it contained clauses siting that the united colonies need to be free and form independent states. A committee of five persons were set up with Thomas Jefferson as part of the group and he was given the responsibility of drafting the document.  

The congress, on July 2, 1776, voted to declare independence from England and many considered the declaration to be the foundation of American freedom.  

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
