That was one of my favorite episodes. I confess that even as a kid I thought the idea of the parallels being so precise were a bit hokey. Still, a very powerful reading of the declaration of independence by Kirk.It was the Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence.
Wasn't that a jab at the alleged "neanderthal" status of patriotic Americans . . . the implication that they were too stupid and bigoted to understand that their philosophy actually applied to everyone?

It was the Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence. Yep, "This document wasn't written for chiefs and priests. See the first three words, written larger than all the rest, WE THE PEOPLE..."
My friends and I used to call those Shatner moments "going full Kirk".
