Our national purpose, and values, are in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. In 1776 the Declaration founders asserted their revolutionary intention to break free from British tyranny. They also asserted that we are all born with “unalienable Rights…among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”, though those rights originally were only for White men of property. The Declaration founders also declared the “Right of the People…to institute new Government…in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness”. The Declaration was a commitment to create a nation with equal rights for all. The Constitution then codified and structured those rights for the government and society.
