Reflection
In the __Declaration of Independence__, Thomas Jefferson wrote the following:

//We hold these truths to be self-evident, that **all men** are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.//


 * Rewrite the above excerpt in your own words, reflecting what the word **//men//** should really refer to.
 * Do you believe that "all men" in America are treated equally in American society today? Explain.
