Oh crumb, it is the weekend and Dr D done sprung a pop quiz on us:
1. Who knows where this text is from?
“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.”
2. Bonus question: Who was the lead author?
3. Extra bonus question: Do you think it is true?
(Answers are in the replies/comments, below)
1. US Declaration of Independence (4 July 1776)
2. Thomas Jefferson
3. In principle, agreed. In practice, “Unalienable rights” have often not been respected.
I knew the answers to each question, Ha!
