Answer:
The correct answer to the question: Certain rights were not given by the government but that men were born with them is stated in the:___, would be: Declaration of Independence.
Explanation:
The Declaration of Independence, which was signed and ratified by the Continental Congress on July 4th, 1776, became the document through which the now new independent nation explained and expressed not just its decision, but the reasons for such a decision to be made, of becoming free of their ties with the motherland, which was England. In the very text of this document, and as one of the most important and fundamental bases of it, the Declaration claims that people are born with certain unalienable rights: life, liberty an the pursuit of happiness among them, that belonged to people not because someone, or a government, gave these rights to them, but because they received them just by being born human. This meant that these rights were not dependent on a certain authority, and rather, a created authority was under the responsibility of overseeing, protecting and ensuring these rights.
