Question

Christian teachings helped influence the Declaration of Independence by promoting the idea

that truth is self-evident.
that people are equal.
that happiness is worthwhile.
that people should judge their neighbors.

Answer 1

that people are equal.

Christian teaching (e.g., all people made in the image of God, equal before God) helped shape the Declaration’s idea of natural equality; the other options reflect Enlightenment ideas or are contrary to Christian teaching.
