The Declaration is a nice document but the Constitution is the law of the land. - "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The Declaration is a nice document but the Constitution is the law of the land.

What?! Explain to me, from the perspective of our Founding Fathers, how this makes a difference?
They went to war against the "law of the land," to form their own independent nation because the "law of the land" violates certain unalienable human rights.
