Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. I am of the opinion that it is one of the most important political documents in the history of the world. The section that I have quoted below is likely the most quoted throughout our history. I submit to you that it is powerful, reasonable, just and easy to understand.
"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."
