The words "governments are instituted among men' describe

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

Each phrase is full of meaning:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident” – The great truths contained in the Declaration stand on their own. They are “self-evident” and require no supporting testimony or further evidence to prove their truth. They are foundational.

“All men are created equal.” – It took us time and a considerable amount of blood to get to the point where “all men” really means all men and all women, but we are there. Each individual has worth, and each should have opportunity.
