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.
