you can’t understand the Constitution without the Declaration of Independence. The declaration is the litany of reasons for the violent revolt. The constitution is the litany of solutions.
The Declaration of Independence states three basic ideas: (1) God made all men equal and gave them the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; (2) the main business of government is to protect these rights (3) if a government tries to withhold these rights, the people are free to revolt and to set up a new government.
