True, but that declaration to the British crown helped put into motion the penning of the US constitution. The bottom line is the founders believed our core rights as human beings come from the Creator and not government/man.

There are likely tons of scholarly research and articles on the subject that will go into far greater depth than we want to get into in this forum.

Suffice to say, while it’s an oversimplification I’ll accept are “correct”to say the FF believed that these rights came “from God” rather than from “government”. But it’s more accurate to say that this was more along the lines of a philosophical belief in “natural law” referencing “The Creator” rather than a Judeo-Christian religious movement. You might want to look up Thomas Jefferson’s Bible as it provides an interesting perspective.

I’ll also point out that the Constitution seemingly acknowledges/protects
rights by delineating the limits of government, rather than “granting” them.
