Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper investigates whether the Declaration of Independence has to be understood as a product of liberal modernity or whether there is a place in it for pre-Hobbesian Catholic teachings on equality, natural rights, government by consent of the governed, and the right of revolution. It is a preliminary investigation in that Catholic political thinkers of these ideas, such as Suarez, Bellarmine, Vittoria, and Las Casas, are no longer known to students of the history of political philosophy. They are however known to medieval historians and to theologians. But these latter tend to overlook or underestimate the revolution in thought represented by Machiavelli, Hobbes and their successors. The goal is to understand the similarity and differnces between the pre-Hobbessian and post-Hobbesian meanings of these fundamental concepts of the Declaration and so to find out, among other things, whether Catholics have a place in modernity or whether they must remain in, but not of, it unless they convert to Hobbesian ininspired liberalism.
