What are American Ideals? Think back to when we were studing the founding of our country. One major document we studied was the Decleration of Independence. In order to discover what Ideals our founding fathers thought all Americans should have we will have to go back to this document. They laid these Ideals out in the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Now that you know what American Ideals are you then must understand what they mean:
What is unalienable cannot be taken away or denied. Its most famous use is in the Declaration of Independence, which says people have unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The pursuit of happiness is defined as a fundamental right mentioned in the Declaration of Independence to freely pursue joy and live life in a way that makes you happy, as long as you don't do anything illegal or violate the rights of others.
Liberty- The freedom to do what you want (as long as you don't do anything illegal or violate the rights of others.)
Life- To live and thrive in our counrty.
