Declaration of Independence.....?

Question

The declaration refers to the crator "their god" does god give evryone the same right? If yes, what are they?why should god even be mentioned in this document? If the united states supposed tokeep chruch and state sepperate?

Answer 1

The inalienable rights referred to in the Declaration are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Americans now understand that "all men" now refers, literally, to all humans, unless some rights are revoked through the due process of law.

Answer 2

All men are granted certain inalienable rights by their creator those rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nothing about property to the one who is clearly going to do bad on his test. The rights were only given to those who held property at that time, which was white males, as they were teh only ones who could vote. Anyway the U.S. Constitution, which isn't even the orginal document to start the country, is where people CLAIM "seperation of Church and State" comes from, not the Declaration of Independence. Prior to the Constitution there was also the Articles of Confederation. Anyway what the First Amendment says is that Congress shall not respect the establishment of any church or endorse any church. That means that Govt won't interfer with Church. You won't have State Churches as the colonies had.

Answer 3

I think you're reading into this a bit too literally.
When they talk about the separation of church and state, they refer to the way things were run in jolly ole' England - the church had a tremendous influence in the way the government was being run at the time. By stating there would be a separation, they meant to say the church would not have a huge say in how government was run. The word "God" was used because the people writing this were men of faith in the sense they believed in God and all of the morals presented in the bible. As such, they believed that individuals meaning to do harm to the newly organized government would either go to hell or remain in purgatory.

Answer 4

The Declaration was written befor the Constitution.
and there is nothing in the Constitution about separation of church and state.
Mentioning God, in a document does not establish a church.
as a matter of fact. the first amendment guarantees freedom OF "religion" NOT freedom From religion.
and Yes, the authors of the Declaration did believe that God granted all Men the same rights.
Thats why athiests do not belive in god, so they dont have to grant the same rights to everyone.

Answer 5

The word is creator not crator and God is not a religion or church. None of the founding fathers ever felt that government should exist without guidance from a higher being. They did not feel that a religion should be connected to government. This is a big difference and one you should attempt to understand.

Rights for everyone:Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

Answer 6

what are your rights? in this document,more than the rights of any other country in the world by far, you'll someday embrace the use of God as it is the salvation of how we want to live, we want for you it is in this desire that manifested the design to include the scope of change and it is in that scope of change that the think tanks and money and steering committees are not in sync with the fact that we aren't on the same playing field as the world changes so you are in the best interest of your self to be heard as the need for the enlighten to be the wittiness of time and the allotment of each of us is only so much and they have lock step mythological design that have lost because we are no longer engage with the Soviets and we are not responding to people only to wars, that is why we hope when they stop warring that they can be civilized and with out us believing in the living heart of developing the state it would Bee chaos, and we are half there now

Answer 7

The United States was just an idea when the Declaration of Independence was written. That was written before the Revolutionary War and America took control from the British. They wrote the declaration to show the British of their intentions to be its own sovereign country.

Answer 8

The Declaration of Independence was written in 1776. There was no Big Bang Theory or Theory of Evolution in 1776. As far as anyone knew the was a creator. Being that our fore fathers were of a Christian background, and christianity preaches free will, our fore fathers assumed that the "Creator" gave certain inalienable rights to all men.
Realize that when our fore-fathers wrote the declaration, men simply meant white male land owners of wealth.
So you have to take everything in the context of the time which it is written. 1776 was a different world then the one of 2006.
