Thomas Jefferson, when writing the Declaration of Independence of the US used a fundamental Judeo-Christian concept. At the Declaration, Jefferson states that: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...".

The Judeo-Christian concept of God-given rights (for example: every man is created equal; rights over life and liberty...) is a fundamental concept used by Thomas Jefferson as the core of the Declaration of Independence.
