The very foundation of our written Constitution is what its Framers called a "self-evident" truth--"that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Until recent decades, that foundation was solid, because citizens treasured and held fast to the concept of an unalienable right to life and liberty.
Jefferson: "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."
Now is the time to rediscover a foundation upon which the United States Constitution was formed, to engage citizens in meaningful discussions about what was meant by an unalienable right to life and liberty.
It's so obviously self-evident, how do you go about explaining it to someone who just doesn't get it?
