Before The Formation Of This Constitution It Had Been Affirmed As A Self Evident Truth, In The Declaration Of Independence, Very Deliberately Made By The Representatives Of The United States Of America In Congress Assembled That 'all Men Are Created Equal, And Are Endowed By Their Creator With Certain Unalienable Rights' This Declaration Of Independence Was Received And Ratified By All The States In The Union & Has Never Been Disannuled.
