How are the core values of American democracy incorporated into the Declaration?
That all men are created equal, that they are equipped by their Creator with certain inherent Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
What responsibilities does the government have to honoring these core values?What responsibilities do individual citizens have to preserve these core values?
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 change or to terminate it, and to create 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 safety and happiness.
How might some or all of these core values be important to the preservation of a free and independent press?
These core values are important because we all want life, liberty, and of course the pursuit of happiness in our wonderful country America. We cannot say the same for most of our neighboring countries. So we are blessed with the Declaration of Independence. Life, we all deserve to have and enjoy. Liberty, we all deserve to be free. Pursuit of Happiness, we all want to live our lives freely in the state of being happy. Amen.
The American constitutional democracy that allow private citizens to collect, edit and further distribute information to others and how the values help drive these actions. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. We will no longer live under the command of a dictator, but live under the command of God. He is our ruler. He is our king. He is our Savior.
What responsibilities do producers of information have to these core values and their fellow citizens when distributing information? Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by Authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and Independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do
