This week is “Celebrate Freedom Week” across our state. The Preamble states …

Today we will wrap up our learning around the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence by examining what is meant in the phrase “consent of the governed.” According to the Declaration of Independence, government does not give individuals the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Individuals are born with these rights, and government protects these rights with the consent of the governed. Government, then, gets its power from the people who are being governed. Government becomes tyrannical when the government becomes oppressive and does not protect the rights of the people. If this happens, the people have the right to “alter or abolish” the government (change or replace it with another government). This was something that had never been done before. To ensure their promise was not empty, the signers let the world know that they were committed to ensuring that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were the key principles upon which their nation would be built.”

This week is “Celebrate Freedom Week” across our state. The Preamble states …

The Preamble uses the phrase, “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” What does this mean? The natural right to life means that individuals, and not the government, have control over their lives. Liberty means individuals have the right to be free. Being free would later be more fully explained in the Bill of Rights with ideas that included freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceable assembly, freedom of religious exercise, and freedom to petition the government. Finally, “the pursuit of happiness” is whatever individuals define as making them happy. Individuals have the right to try to achieve goals that will lead to their personal happiness. Limits on these rights exist when one person tries to interfere, or limits, the natural rights of another.”

This week is “Celebrate Freedom Week” across our state. The Preamble states …

The Preamble states that all people have “unalienable rights.” What does that mean? The Declaration describes the specific natural rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These rights are unalienable (they cannot be taken away by government). Thomas Jefferson took this idea from the Enlightenment thinker, John Locke. He believed that individuals have both a right and a duty to preserve their own lives. Locke also argued that individuals should be free to make choices about how to conduct their own lives as long as they do not interfere with the liberty of others. He believed liberty should be far-reaching. As Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he, and the other Founders, held this idea as fundamental and it has become a building block of our American philosophy.”

This week is “Celebrate Freedom Week” across our state. The Preamble states …

The Preamble states that “All men are created equal.” These words from the Declaration of Independence have resonated as the ideals of the United States. In 1776 the phrase “all men are created equal” did not apply to everyone. However, over time, the United States has expanded the idea to include more people into that phrase. Abolitionists in the 19th century asked Americans to live up to the ideal of equality and eliminate slavery. The women’s rights movements of the 19th and 20th centuries championed representation for women. The civil rights movement of the 20th century pressured America to honor the commitment made in the declaration. The document still speaks to us today about the rights of Americans, as it did in 1776. Today we continue to discuss and extend the concept of equality. It is a foundational ideal that we strive to live up to.”
