What truths did the delegates to the seneca falls convention believe were self evident?
The "Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances" adopted by the Seneca Falls convention stated: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, . . ." This paragraph of the Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances was based closely on the American colonies' Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, except that it stated these truths were self-evident with respect to both men and women, while the Declaration of Independence referred only to men. The Seneca Falls convention was the first women's rights convention ever held in the United States. The Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances was drafted by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the organizers of the convention and one of the first and most important advocates of women's rights in the United States.

This answer needs some explanation. The US Constitution was not "adopted" by the "continental congress."

There was a "Congress" under the Articles of Confederation and it authorized the formation of a "Constitutional Convention" to revise the Articles of Confederation on February 21, 1787. On September 17, 1787, the Constitutional Convention adopted the final form of the US Constitution, presented it to Congress and recommended its ratification by the states. on September 28, 1787, Congress directed that the proposed Constitution be sent to the legislatures of each state so that they could form their own Constitutional Conventions for the purposes of ratifying the Constitution.
