    C. Named life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness as granted to all.

    Explanation:

    The Declaration refers to men's "inalienable rights" such as life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness because they're supposed to be the principles on which a new society and a new country will be built. Those will be the principles of the new social contract guiding the relationship between rulers and those ruled.
