Using the free and fun Wordle tool (found: here), I plugged in the words from our nation's Declaration of Independence to create this interesting word cloud and to learn that the most frequently used word in the Declaration was "LAWS" followed by "PEOPLE," "STATES," "AMONG," "RIGHT," "TIME, and "GOVERNMENT."
It is fascinating to see the the Declaration in this way. Even though the introduction includes famous and feel-good statements like "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, ...with certain unalienable Rights, ...Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness," the document boiled down to it's most basic parts reveals an obsession with order and rules, and almost certainly, a government among the people.
