That is the primary justification Thomas Jefferson gave for having government. Thus, apart from a recognition of God-given rights, there is no legitimate foundation for government. Some try to establish that the Declaration is irrelevant as a legal document, but not so. The Emancipation Proclamation, a legal document written in 1863 to free the slaves, is also dated to the Declaration. Secularists love to proclaim that the Constitution fails to mention God.
