The Declaration Of Independence And Why It Applies Today
Declaration of Independence
It is not in the Declaration of Independence but all our founders including Thomas Jefferson knew that natural law was based on the Judeo-Christian tenet of love your neighbor as yourself. The tenet love your neighbor as yourself applies to today’s society just like it did to the society of our Founders time.

Too many peole in politics interpret Jeffersons' stance on law as being divided between what if moral law and natural law, when in fact they go hand in hand as you have pointed out. Natural law comes from the higher moral law. There is no morality without moral responsibility, no moral responsibility without moral law, no moral law without a moral law giver.
