3 Rational Thoughts

Rationalist Thought #1- "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." This Is a rational thought because Puritans believed that God had chosen the ones he wanted to be better than others, and Rationalist knew that was not true because all men were created equally.
Rationalist Thought #2- "It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." This was also another rational thought because they say that if one or more didn't like the government, they can all throw one of and set a new one. The Puritans thought that if a government was establish if were to stay like that because it was already set.
Rationalist Thought #3- "Certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Another one becasue they felt like they were happy and who they were because of themselves and not God or anyone else.
