Initially, the American Revolution was to protect the existing way of life than to create something new. However, things were not happened on the track planned by leaders. During the Second Continental Congress, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin drafted a declaration of independence. At that time, most societies around the world were ruled by kings that believed in God. Jefferson argued that government can be only established by the people to protect their rights. After his ideas appeared on the paper, the people in the world began to accept and try to set up a new society all the time. I agree that people's rights cannot be deprived by others, even legally. Therefore, the government should be ruled by the people and can be abolished by the people. People are born with liberty and the Declaration of Independence made it possible. Yet there were some things that never mentioned in the Declaration, such as women, free blacks, Native Americans and slaves. So the Declaration was just the first step of the evolution of the modern society. People have been seeking a more complete method to preserve people's liberty.
