The Declaration states that the people have God-given rights and that a form of government that becomes tyrannical can be altered or abolished.
The court system uses a God reference. I think becoming president too. Swearing on them bibles.
The Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven.
To mention some. You already said most states and technically all mention God or a creator. FYI creator for a non religious person, would be what? Their parents?
Please show where The Declaration of Independence uses the phrase "God-given."
Please show where the Declaration of Independence is used as the basis for a single law -- Federal, state or local.
Using the term "In the year of our Lord" has zero to do with any religious application in government.
The phrase “in the year of our lord” is a translation of the Medieval Latin Anno Domini, which
means “in the year of the lord.” If you want to say “in the year of our lord,” it would be Anno
Domini Nostri. The full original phrase is Anno Domini Nostri Jesu Christi", which translates
to "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ".
This calendar era used in both the Gregorian and Julian calendars is based on the traditionally
reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth, with AD counting years from the
start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of the era. There is no year zero in
this scheme, so the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC. This dating system was devised
in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus of Scythia Minor. It came into wide usage after the year 800.
The year 2021 AD is literally saying "In the year of the Lord." This has absolutely nothing to do with government, and everything to do with how the people devising the modern calendar annotated the years.
I bet you used that abbreviation more than once, but you had no idea what AD actually means.
I asked how any of what I listed affected HAWAII. Other state's Constitutions don't have anything to do with our laws, nor with the federal laws that affect this state.
