The Declaration of Independence, primarily drafted by Thomas Jefferson and adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, articulates the fundamental ideas that form the American nation: all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among these are:
1. Life
2. Liberty
While "freedom of religion" and "freedom of speech" are rights that are protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, they are not explicitly mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution and its Amendments, which came later, spell out the specific rights and protections afforded to American citizens.
