Kant's "Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals" focuses on moral philosophy and ethics, particularly emphasizing the categorical imperative, treating people as ends in themselves, and the concept of a moral community or kingdom of ends. The idea of an inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness is more closely associated with the political philosophy found in the Declaration of Independence, rather than Kant's ethical theories.
