Those values are represented as natural rights in the Declaration of Independence. Liberty is a value that cherishes about Individual Freedom and believes that laws should give order instead of repression. With respect to egalitarianism, it means that there is nothing that says that someone is better, superior, than other one. Natural rights are the ones that can be never taken away, the ones that exists commonly in every human being and they are from nature rather than society’s rules. In the Declaration of Independence the written natural rights are “Life,Liberty,and the pursuit of Happinness."
