For the record, Jefferson’s original line in the Declaration of Independence was “We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable, that all men are created equal and independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent and inalienable.” The Continental Congress changed it to “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Jefferson’s version was about rights derived from nature whereas Congress changed it to Rights endowed by a Creator.
