—“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.”—

Its an incomplete sentence (just like NAP). Fully expand the sentence. The fully expanded sentence in context would be:

—“All men are created equal under the law of nature and nature’s god, and therefore, if willing and able to bear arms, they are free to choose their customs, and Kings. Therefore Kings do not rule by divine right but by license of the men willing and able of bearing arms to replace them with another more suited to their pursuit of prosperity in life, liberty, and property.”—

That is the full meaning of the original sentence.
