I have seen this argument made allot recently, but I still don’t buy into it. While the Declaration of Independence is an inspired document, it is not law. The Constitution, upon it’s ratification became the “Law of the Land” it is the only binding law, and protector of our “God” given rights. The Declaration may list these rights but it does not protect them in any way.
Agree. However the Declaration, to me, is the same as Legislative intent which is used all the time.
