"We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends." - Declaration of Independence
 * The Declaration of Independence was a document that declared war after multiple attempts of peace with the king of Great Britain.
 * Ties back with Hobbes' theory that "every man ought to endeavour peace," and if it does not work, "that he may seek and use all helps and advantages of war".

1) At what point can someone decide that peace is not acquiring the results that they hope to achieve? 2) Would Hobbes agree with the "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"?

"**WE **// hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their // //Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" // - Declaration of Independence


 * Hobbes believed that every man was born with equal rights to liberty, and that they must maintain these rights under any condition.
