Question

"... (A)ll men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights... namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring (getting) and possessing property...." - The Virginia Declaration of Rights, 1776 This quote would later influence the creation of what document? A) Common Sense B) The U.S. Constitution C) Poor Richard's Almanac D) The Declaration of Independence

Answer 1

Declaration of Independence 

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) Declaration of Independence.

The wording in the Declaration of Independence is very similar to the one in the quote, as the US Declaration of Independence discusses how all men have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Along with this, the US Declaration also makes mention of inherent rights when it discusses how all men are "endowed by their creator" with certain "unalienable rights."
