Which document contains the assertion that all men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights such as Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness?

• A. Gettysburg Address
• B. Articles of Confederation
• C. Constitution
• D. Declaration of Independence

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that certain foundational rights are described as inherent and universal. The Declaration of Independence holds that all people are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights, specifically Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. It presents these rights as the basis for government and as justification for independence, drawn from Enlightenment ideas about natural rights. The other documents serve different purposes: the Gettysburg Address reflects national unity and purpose during a war, the Articles of Confederation describe a loose alliance of states, and the Constitution lays out how the government is organized and powers allocated (without this explicit universal-right pledge). So the statement about equality and unalienable rights is found in the Declaration of Independence.
