its a rough draft and obviously isnt the entire thing
The United States has diagnosed itself as one unified nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So cultivates the question- are the citizens of such an independent country truly free? The validity of the United State's constitution as a reason of equality for its nation is inoperative. Since the prior being of the nation's early stages we have lived in a state of biased partisan and unjust inequality, as one's race, gender, and disabilities predispose one's fate within the nation of America. The very characteristics that the Divine Creator chooses to foist us have been, and still are, the predilections for our rankings in present day society.
Firstly, the ever precarious notion of race has posed as a problematic source of bias within American society. Prior to the 1800's, African Americans were robbed of freedom, only to be forced into captive enslavement and treated as inferior. The Constitution, which represented the very epitome of our nation's independence, once set in stone the inequality of simply being born in what was deemed as the wrong skin tone. Article 1 Section 2 Clause 3 of the 1787 Constitution stated that African Americans were to count as" three-fifths of a person," and in 1709 it was proclaimed that naturalization laws were only to be given to Caucasian males. The irony of such a proposition is exceedingly apparent, as the Constitution also stated that a morally incorruptible government would maintain a nation of equality by sustaining the natural rights- the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is, as such, exemplified how the United States predisposes inequality in those born a certain race. Furthermore, racism and its direct effects on freedom with our nation is still a concurring issue today. Although it is quite commodious to turn a blind eye to this reality, modern day statistics prove that our nation is not as color blind as we would favor to perceive.
The United States DEFINES itself as one unified nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So WE ASK - are the citizens of such an independent country truly free? The Constitution of the United States does not provide equality for the people. Since the being of the nation we have lived in a state of biased partisanship and inequality. One's race, gender, and disabilities preordain one's fate within America. The very characteristics that the Divine Creator chooses to grant us have been, and still are, the specifications for our rankings in present day society.
First, the precarious notion of race has presented a source of bias within American society. Prior to the 1800's, African Americans were robbed of freedom, and forced into captive enslavement and treated as inferior beings. The Constitution, which represented the basic expression of our nation's independence, set in stone the injustice resulting from being born with what was deemed the wrong skin tone.

(promote the general welfare maybe?) the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It indicates how the United States legislates inequality for those born a certain race. Furthermore, racism is an ongoing issue today. Although it is quite convienient to turn a blind eye to this reality, modern day statistics prove that our nation is not as color blind as we would like to think.
