We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.


This is the evidence of the natural law. We can't be wrong in our understanding about this as we aren't perceiving it divisively with our minds, but inalienably with our souls (collective conscience). Therefore, it is unquestionably true beyond any misunderstanding, misconstrument, and misinterpretation (the important analysis needed to substantiate a natural law conclusion) . This is the conclusion itself.

In essence, this becomes a Formal Culture superceding all the other lessor cultures with those being established on the past traditions of legal precedence.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.


This is the evidence of the natural law. We can't be wrong in our understanding about this as we aren't perceiving it divisively with our minds, but inalienably with our souls (collective conscience). Therefore, it is unquestionably true beyond any misunderstanding, misconstrument, and misinterpretation (the important analysis needed to substantiate a natural law conclusion) . This is the conclusion itself.

In essence, this becomes a Formal Culture superceding all the other lessor cultures with those being established on the past traditions of legal precedence.

To expound, our Founders had to deal with the rules that accompany the science of natural law. In establishing such truths for a king to read, they first had to reduce down the evidence, the data, to the most simplist of forms. Problem is, when such scientific conclusions were developed, most of the interpretations of them were wrong. So, one also had to explain them in such a way that they could not be misunderstood, misconstrued, or misinterpreted.
For example, Descartes often commented that other scientists would formulate brilliant understandings of his work that were totally wrong! Therefore, the need for the development of the field of linquistics!
In the red part above, our Founders first presented the king the facts as reduced down evidence that were clearly self evident. Next, in the orange part, they then declared it inalienable to the extent that it couldn't be misunderstood, misconstrued, or misinterpreted as such self evident truths did not reduce to partisan minds but to the *soul (a collective conscience). Finally, in the green part, after substantiating the evidence, our Founding Fathers then established a conclusion with it.
As the evidence, the red and orange parts, are essentially structural in quantity, the conclusion, the green part, is structurally dynamic in quality.
In other words, our Founders first established our "beings" before establishing what our beings were meant to "become."

*Socrates understood that all inward souls were perfect as they were the offspring of the same formal Soul. This is why he would ponder why there would be such drastic differences between a king sitting on a throne and a little old lady who would be walking down to fetch a pale of water out from the river.

How do you come to the conclusion that the soul is "a collective conscience"? A hermit with no significant ties to society can have a soul as well, yes? (Tolstoy illustrated this in his short story, The Three Hermits (http://www.online-literature.com/tolstoy/2896/), btw)

Well, because of Socrates. Each soul within each person reduces down to the one formal perfect Soul. If everyone has what amounts to be a perfect soul, then why are people born different? "Recollection." During the trauma when each soul is born, each person forgets different amounts of knowledge. In other words, as the perfect Soul knows everything, every human soul once knew everything as well. As a midwife philosopher (teacher), Socrates felt it was his duty to serve each soul in order to help it "recollect" that which it had already once knew.
