The only way for us to be truly equal is for all of us to recognize each other as equal without regard to race or religion. At least that is what the constitution says and what so many have died for.
I don't remember that quote in the Constitution. I do believe that it is true, and some amendment may have alluded to that, but more likely some judge decided it. miles
That was in a different document that preceded The Constitution:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
