ESSAY: WESTERN POLITICAL THOUGHT Here is your goal for this assignment:

Write an essay relating the political thoughts in the Declaration of Independence to the Bible

From an encyclopedia, the Internet, or another reference, read the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

Copy each phrase that you think is part of the tradition of Western political thought (for example "all men are created equal").
In an essay of 300 words explain how each of these ideas is related to Biblical teaching.
Hint: Refer to the lesson "Theory, Practice, and Models" for a list of the Declaration's main thoughts that are a part of the tradition of Western political thought (bottom of page 1). Type your findings using proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Proper documentation includes both parenthetical citations within the body of your report anytime you summarize or quote a source, as well as works cited page.
