All countries have their differences, there is no way around it. Even with this fact, almost all countries can share a similarity or two. Any country will tell anyone and everyone that it cares for its citizens, this is what they would want the public to believe. Although the rights of men appear to be the main focus of two of the documents, the Declaration of Independence will rarely mention rights, and the other two documents give vague descriptions of rights. Some rights may be interpreted to have a deeper meaning, or simply no meaning at all when looked at from a less straightforward point of view. First world countries will create rights under the pretense of care for their citizens, when in reality the citizens are being used for the personal gain of government officials. A higher power is listed as one of the main authorities in the creation of all three given documents. The higher power that they list is God, the flagship of morality in many modern day societies. With this in mind, God determines what is right and wrong in the end. “...in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being” (Man and Citizen). Through the use of God or another power that rests atop all other powers, governments have not only made what they dictate sound more appealing, they have also gained the power to command almost anything. This is because when they wrong the government, they have also wronged God. The power of God can subdue the angry beast known more formally as the public, as no force can oppose His power. Using God was not enough for the world governments, they also controlled the masses through the means of making their citizens believe that they truly cared, when in reality they did not. Although one’s government would have them believe that they their state of life is cared about, just like with a primary care physician, it does not matter a significant amount whether or not the aforementioned person lives or dies.

The main reason for this declaration comes from another declaration, the Declaration of Independence. “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States” (Independence). Instead of focusing on what the people of America need, Jefferson only focuses on how Britain has wronged the colony leaders. In a rather childish manner, the subject was changed to avoid a topic that Jefferson did not want to discuss. The colony’s secession from Britain was carried out under the pretense of breaking away from the tyranny of Britain’s ruler, it was truly done so the colony leaders could become country leaders with the ability to create laws. Laws for the “greater good.” The laws created did in fact provide some relief from that over taxation terrors that Britain created, along with allowing some to realize that they had PTSD created by the fear of failing to do basic arithmetic and consequently paying more than should be paid, or being sent to the gallows. This was only done to butter the citizens up, as they say. “While evils are sufferable” (Independence). How does one define the evils that were mentioned? Evil is generally defined as the lack of morality. However, this is almost entirely based on point of view. What is evil changes from person to person, group to group. This is one of the reasons the American government will call some acts, “necessary evils.” This is a way to cover for the fact that the majority of the public would deem it as a heinous act. In this way, giving a certain act a label changes a given person’s point of view towards it. The …show more content…
“That all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people; that magistrates are their trustees and servants, and at all times amenable to them” (Virginia). If the power to make decisions belongs to the people, then it is a mystery as to why the American government can make whatever decisions it sees fit. That is, unless power does not lie with the people, but instead with those that are figureheads in the government as well as their
