That's a good question, and Happy 4th, by the way. Unfortunately, it seems most people have never actually read the Declaration of Independence and just parrot the "all men are created equal" line. Considering that the bulk of the document is squarely focused on the King's "history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States", I think it's clear that, at the very least, it's a resolute rejection of the monarchy and of the idea of the "divine right of kings."
