>Indeed the US constitution uses the phrase "We hold these rights to be self-evident", As a matter of fact, the Declaration of Independence uses the phrasing, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." The Constitution does not use any similar language, the Declaration of Independence is not a legal document, and there's nothing equal about San Francisco land ownership.
