Read these excerpts from "The Declaration of Independence" and "Every Man a King."
The Declaration of Independence:
(2) 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. -- That to secure
these rights
, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
governed...
Every Man a King:
(2) Now, what did they mean by that? Did they mean, my friends, to say that all men were created equal and that
that meant that any one man was born to inherit $10,000,000,000 and that another child was to be born to inherit
nothing?
(3) Did that mean, my friends, that someone would come into this world without having had an opportunity, of
course, to have hit one lick of work, should be born with more than it and all of its children and children's children
could ever dispose of, but that another one would have to be born into a life of starvation?
