The declaration of independence stated that all men were created equal and that they had natural rights that could not be taken away. how were these beliefs enforced in the early united states?

These beliefs were enforced in early America by creating a constitution that protected these individual rights. The idea of natural rights were included in the Bill of Rights.

The Bill of Rights are the first ten amendments of the US Constitution. These rights guarantee important liberties including:

a) Freedom of speech
b) Freedom of religion
c) Right to bear arms
d) Right to a jury trial

These rights were protected by the federal government and the local, state, and federal court systems.
