The Constitution is the frame, the structure that holds it in place, that sets the boundaries. But the Declaration provides the picture. The Declaration of Independence acknowledges the natural fundamental rights that God and nature's God lay before us. That acknowledges the fundamental truths about who we are and what government is in relation to us. That we have these self evident truths, these God given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (02:50–02:58)
