By declaring unalienable rights like liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it affirmed that faith is a fundamental human right, not granted by government but inherent. This principle directly shaped the Constitution and First Amendment, empowering religious minorities and ensuring no one’s beliefs would be tested for public office. Leaders like Washington and Jefferson reinforced this vision, guaranteeing that bigotry and persecution had no place in the new nation. The Declaration didn’t just win independence—it won freedom of conscience.
