Thomas Jefferson’s 1776 Declaration of Independence was shaped by the evident working principles of historic foreign governance, and personal experience; the Declaration came from a Biblical Christian worldview, providing a solid foundation to build a nation on. Jefferson’s philosophy of government shaped many modern civil attributes, including common laws and contracts that established both essential conditions and exclusions. Foreign governance provided effective common laws while rejecting the influence of aristocracy. Men were not to be subservient to each other, instead, citizens demanded a nation founded under the intrinsic laws of God, defended by its government.
