The pursuit of Happiness is manifested in each individual’s sovereignty of his body (labor), mind (ideas and beliefs), and property. These are endowed to him by his Creator and are of his own sovereignty; individual rights.  That means only God has the authority over each individual in regards to these three features articulated in the Declaration of Independence.
