The "Truth" we need to hold as "self evident" is that if you, we or our nation is irresponsible with our freedoms, we will all lose both our freedom and security.  Irresponsible US foreign policy has abused the freedom and security of others beyond our shores.  Such freedom to interfere in other nations has created violent extremists who are willing to mass murder Americans and sacrfice their lives in the process. They are increasingly able to gain such power given free trade.  Every technological component necessary to create bio, cyber, robotic, chemical, nuclear and even conventional forms of WMD is on the global market.  Just one patriotic American being irresponsible in the US regarding the Covid19 or their use of antibiotics threatens the lives of countless Americans. So much for the freedom and security of those infected and their families, when they die. It's that kind of irresponsible behavior that can cause other's to demand government action to restrict freedom of movement of all US citizens, with the use of military force if things get bad enough, or our economic system collapses because of it.  

The context of the time was understanding that without the welfare of 'we the people' our nation security would be threatened. The first anti-hunger program was instituted because too many young Americans joining the US military at that time were malnourished. Even before that, during the last year of WW I the Spanish flu killed more US soldiers that the war. Many historians believed WW I ended largely because the global pandemic had made war time logistics unworkable...as well as many civil functions in every major power. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights after the horror's of WW II was a attempt to prevent future wars. Too bad the concept of human rights espoused in our Declaration of Independence wasn't instituted into our U.S. Constitution. That error cost more US lives during the civil war than all the wars since. If you still believe that the 'general welfare' of the population isn't essential to our own survival and sustainability you simply don't understand what the founders did when they wrote it. The Constitution is unfortunately about the protection of states rights and not human rights. BIG freakin error.

Right on. By "All" I'm assuming all people on earth, not just the US.
