That aspect of the declaration isn’t interesting to me at all. My interest is in the way our Forefathers created a functioning society that allows such a wonderful balance among various interests. No other country created anything as wonderful as our Constitution. Most of my ancestors came here in the 1600s, so I’ve spent massive amounts of time reading our early history and it’s absolutely wonderful to see their struggles for independence and freedom. It’s great that there is so much in that period to feed both of our interests.
Thanks. You’re absolutely correct that the framework they left allows for individual freedom and, in their words, “. . . the pursuit of happiness.”
