SteveIf you mean the Declaration of Independence there are no "rights" listed beyond the statement that Jefferson wrote in the first three paragraphs of the paper. This was more of a philosophy on the "rights of man" rather than rights in particular. It won't be until the constitutional convention that a list of rights is developed for the new government. The Declaration of Independence is more about the reasons why the colonies wanted to declare themselves independent from the crown. It could be called an "open letter" to the king.
