A famous excerpt from the United States Declaration of Independence, which was drafted by Thomas Jefferson in June 1776, is:
"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."
This passage is part of the preamble and articulates the fundamental principles that the Founding Fathers believed justified the colonies' separation from Great Britain.
