In the Declaration of Independence, references to God include the phrases "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," "Creator," "the Supreme Judge of the world," and "divine Providence." These phrases reflect the Enlightenment belief in a higher power guiding moral law and human rights. They emphasize the idea that rights are endowed by a Creator and that the nation's actions are subject to divine oversight.
