Popis:	In the Declaration of Independence, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are articulated as rights to which all “men” are entitled. These rights are placed within the context of equality. It is proposed in this article that the Declaration of Independence provides the material for Douglass's, Lincoln's, and King's reinterpretation and reiteration of the rights and principles of democracy and equality. Affirmative action is presented as a contemporary example of a rewrite or reinterpretation of the Declaration of Independence. Specifically, it is proposed that affirmative action is the means by which equity, rather than equality, can be realized.
