Historical Information
The Founding Fathers brought forth a new nation; Thomas Jefferson was their spokesman. This might have been surprising in another young man of thirty-three, but then everything was surprising about Mr. Thomas Jefferson: his learning, his wisdom, his versatility, and as John Adams put it, his "peculiar felicity of expression." Jefferson wrote the Declaration standing up at his desk in the second floor parlor of a German bricklayer named Graff; he "turned neither to book nor pamphlet!" and completed it in two weeks. After two hundred years it remains the root document of American democracy. For not only out of "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind" did it declare the causes for separation from Great Britain, but it set forth, with incomparable succinctness, the philosophy which animated this new experiment in history. The most memorable and still most vital statement of that philosophy is the "self evident" truth that "all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights...Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." In a way that marvelous phrase covers the whole of life, the whole of society and government. Jefferson left it to future generations to spell out its particular meanings. "Each age," Robert Frost said, "will have to reconsider it," just as each age has to reconsider the meaning of all those famous terms in the rest of the Preamble.
