Question
If Pierre Lemerre the Younger stated that "All men are equal in 1716 why
did the White Founding Fathers of the United States of America not include
this in America's constitution? Explain your answer
Answer
The White Founding Fathers of the United States of America did not include the statement "All men are equal" in the Constitution because they did not believe in complete equality. They were primarily concerned with protecting the rights of property owners and preserving the power of the wealthy elite. Additionally, the concept of equality was not universally accepted at the time and was still being debated. It was not until later amendments and court decisions that the idea of equality was more fully incorporated into American law.
