Justice was determined through the use of the science of natural law.
In regards to The Declaration of Independence, the terms truth , equlity, and liberty are used together in combination to establish a natural law. Politically speaking, natural laws were self evident truths and unalienable natural rights. This was sovereign. No question about it because there cannot exist an argument to a natural law. No alternative. No alternate theory. No opposing philosophy. It just is the way it is. Any opposition is the enemy.
Our Founding-Fathers sat in and acted the part of the people to send a message to tyranny to at long last establish the ideal of Civil-Purpose over legal-precedence. In The Declaration of Independence, we can see how the terms of truth, equality, and liberty are depicted:
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, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
So, unlike the beliefs of the primitive cultures outside of our borders, it has been declared that all Americans are born equal with a business agenda.
