Believing in the first "self-evident” truth in the US Declaration of Independence (11)

I believe the answer is:

egalitarian

(Other definitions for egalitarian that I've seen before include "Opposing discrimination" , "Believing all people are equal" , "Political idealist" , "Believing in equal rights and opportunities" , "Leveller" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
