"All men were created with certain unalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" represents Self-evident Enlightenment idea.

Step-by-step explanation:

The words were written by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of independence and they are said to represent self-evident enlightened ideas. Self-evident in accordance with the speech means the “truths” were bestowed by the Creator and required no doubt or questioning whatsoever.

The truths also do not need any debate, defending them or elaborating. The statement as normally called The Pursuit of Happiness was communicated by people who have been deeply rooted in Christianity and believed in universal human equality and it was also a consequence of liberty after the Revolution.
