重点:all men(不包括女性),created equal(不包括非上帝的选民)
这段话是仿照了洛克《政府论》中的这段话:It is not without reason that he seeks out and is willing to join in society with others who are already united, or have a mind to unite for the mutual preservatuon of their lives,liberties and estates, which I call by the general name — property.
洛克的原话里是有“财产”(estate)的提法的,在独立宣言里换为了“the pursuit of Happiness”,所以,美国的宪法是不保障个人财产神圣不可侵犯的,有些时候是可以侵犯的,比如对印地安人、黑人,以及战时的敌国公民或者侨民,没准过些年就能见到实例。
