I just realized that the Declaration of Independence is written in iambic pentameter:

We hold these truths to be self-ev-i-dent | that all men are cre-a-ted e-qual that |  they are en-dowed by their Cre-a-tor with | cer-tain un-a-li-en-ab-le Rights that | a-mong these are Life Li-ber-ty and the |  pur-suit of Happ-i-ness
