What is the meaning of “men” in the phrase “all men are created equal” in the Declaration of Independence? What are your reasons for this interpretation?

Week 1 presents six readings that each represent a fundamental American value. Week 2 examines the intellectual history behind our approach to representative democracy, examining two famous alternative views of governance (Plato and Aristotle), as well as the ideas from Locke’s Second Treatise on Government that became the foundation of our American ideas on governance. We can see Locke’s influence directly in the Declaration of Independence. Week 3 examines closely the American Constitution’s system of checks and balances, a few of the Federalist essays written in the Constitution’s defense during ratification, and two contending theories of Supreme Court judicial review (originalism and the living document theory).
