Detailed explanation-1: -The central claim that “all men are created equal” had profound implications for the American regime of liberty. The “self-evident truth” of human equality meant that humans had equal natural rights, equally gave their consent to create a republican government, had equal dignity, and were equal under the law.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Thomas Jefferson penned “all men are created equal, ” he did not mean individual equality, says Stanford scholar. When the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, it was a call for the right to statehood rather than individual liberties, says Stanford historian Jack Rakove.
Detailed explanation-3: -Being endowed by our Creator with unalienable Rights, means the rights come from the Creator and not from Government. Unalienable rights are endowed, self-evident and not to be taken by Government, but secured by Government.
