Description
Once upon a time, in a remote part of the world colonized predominantly by Britannia, a group of men gathered, drawn by the belief that no distant capricious government should be allowed to force their will on the lives of others. Indeed, so passionately did they believe in the right to self-determination that they were prepared to kill for it...if necessary, to die for it. Gathered together, this Congress of representatives from thirteen colonies declared war on their oppressors with a document that would shake the world: The Declaration of Independence. Drafted as a challenge to a king, its opening sentence would become a challenge to all of humanity:
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal, and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This was the true heart and soul of that fragile, improbable little nation, being brought into the world with no certainty that it would live out the year. Even the Bill of Rights of the Constitution is largely just a reiteration of this one principle: If all men are equal, then no man has the right to silence somebody else's opinion. If all men are equal, then nobody has the right to dictate religious beliefs to anybody else. If we have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then we must not be deprived of any of these things lightly or unfairly; in the end, the mandate of the court system is as simple and as staggering as the principle that all are equal before the law, from the humblest to the mightiest.
