Equality is the highest valued virtue in the world today. The reason as to why countries
have systems of law and governance is because some elements in those countries may try to
exploit others. As such, efforts are made to curtail any people who may feel that they are
more human than others. As such, an ideal society is a society where the rule of law is
upheld to the maximum. In such a society everyone has equal access to public services,
justice, and maximum individual freedom. Also, in the ideal society, it is paramount that the
members of such a community have a good system of governance. This method should not
be biased to anybody in the nation despite their financial power or influence among people
in the society. An ideal society should also have systems which do not allow a little p[eople
to have supreme authority over the rest of the population. For instance, in most democratic
governments in the world, power is shared among three arms of the govern, meant which
are the Legislature, Judiciary, and the Executive. This makes it hard for one of the arms to
make any unlawful step which may cause oppression to the people.
Unalienable Rights for All
Thomas Jefferson propagated the idea that all human beings were equal and had equal
rights which were granted by their maker. He was a famous politician of the United States.

Thomas Jefferson began his career being a lawyer since he had been admitted to the bar in
his home county Virginia where he had been born and raised up. Apparently, Jefferson went
ahead to become the congressman for the state of Virginia and later the governor of the
same region. He also became the Secretary of state before ascending to the presidency of
the United States (Furgang 5). He made various contributions to the creation of an ideal
society in the United States through the declaration of Independence where he was on the
steering committee that came up with the document. The politician can be remembered for
three of the most significant contributions to the American society throughout his political
career. The first one of those contributions is that he led to the construction of the Virginia
University. Secondly, Thomas Jefferson also declared religious independence in the state of
Virginia. Lastly, His most Significant contribution was the drafting of the Declaration of
Independence. This document was meant to serve as a warning to the British government
against treating the US as a colony. Instead, the British Kingdom was supposed to address
the country as a sovereign state with the ability to respond with military action if provoked.
The declaration of Independence (DOI) begins by dec; clearing the rights of a human
being., It states that according to the eyes of the creator all human beings are equal. As
such, they deserve fair treatment and are endowed with unalienable rights. The DOI also
goes ahead to state that power lays within the people that it is possible for the people to
topple a government on some bases (Furgang 19). One basis could be the inability of a state
to protect the rights endowed on a human being or even the violation of those rights. The
declaration of independence goes ahead to declare the various violations carried out by the
British government on the people of the US. Thomas Jefferson begins by laying out the
characteristics of an ideal society and continues to describe the manner In which the British
govern=nmenet had violated those rights. To start with, King George had violated the US
peoples rights by continually dissolving houses of representatives due to the mere fact that
