Right, like the early Founders who wrote laws prohibiting women and non-white men from owing property, but were legal property themselves? Yeah,
individual freedom and liberty was championed by white, male land owners who didn't want
the government telling them how to run their business....or limit their use of slaves or indentured servants.
Newsflash: the Civil War is over and the Union won. The beauty of the Constitution is its adaptability throughout time, as a living document open to interpretation. Including terms like Man, The People, freedom, liberty, ownership, private, public, harm, Public Good, equality, and justice.
