| The Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creater with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safty and Happiness. 人権の尊厳を含め、格調高く、高らかに謳い上げたジェファーソンのフィラデルフィアでの独立宣言。 しかし、ジェファーソンが奴隷に産ませた黒人の末裔がいることは、知る人ぞ知る事実だ。 |
