Do human beings have an innate instinct to be free?

Humans do, in my opinion, to be free. We can see example,es of this in the Declaration of Independence. The Unites States was under rule of England and we wanted to be free. We wanted to be our own country, and to be able to be in control of ourselves. In the Declaration of Independence it states that "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;" This shows that as human, we see ourselves as all equal, and there is no reason why someone should control people when in fact we are all the same.
