摘要：
＂All men are created equal＂ is written in the Declaration of Independence. It means natural rights. So the theory not only provides a reasonable basis for the United States to be independent from the British Government, but also affects the direction of the United States in the future and the spirit of democratic government. The Declaration has often been invoked to protect the rights of individuals and the marginalized groups, and has come to represent a moral standard for which the United States should strive. It sparked the fire of the Civil War by influencing Abraham Lincoln. This view greatly influenced Abraham Lincoln, who considered the Declaration to be the foundation of his political philosophy, and who promoted the idea that the Declaration is a statement of principles through which the United States Constitution should be interpreted. Influenced by the Declaration of Independence, Martin Luther King quoted the content and the spirit of the Declaration of Independence again in his famous speech, ＂I Have a Dream,＂ addressing to the masses in Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC on August 28, 1963. ＂I Have a Dream＂ and ＂The Declaration of Independence＂ had injected ideology, liberty and equality, into the political system through the bargain and compromise. The civic awareness in the United States is built on freedom and institutional overlapping consensus. They also become a modern democratic political system and impact on the present international political situation indirectly.
