I might also add here that the phrase "all men are created equal" owes its original source to John Locke, who himself used it in his Leviathan only in relation to describing humans in a hypothetical "state of nature" prior to the formation of any kind of human society or civilization. Even Locke himself did not believe in any such thing persisting, calling such a state of nature 'poor' and 'brutish', to which society, within which humans bind themselves via contracts (i.e. politics), is preferable, except that any human society would always be based on a subjugation of individual interests to those of others (hence power and difference).
