The Declaration of Indepences says that all men are created equal, but not that they have to stay that way, and we can't even be sure the “men” part of that statement included women? Equality is certainly not part of American jurisprudence except as equality under the law as mentioned in the 14^th amendment, which means everyone has the same protections and court system as the elites; so if people are looking to find equality, there is none; no one is equal; there is not a person on this earth equal to another person, we all have our own luck.

On the other hand, liberty is ingrained in The Constitution's Preamble: “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, ”along with a list of methods to make that happen: “form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, and promote the general Welfare.” Liberty is the opposite of equality; in fact, it actually excaserbates inequality because people making decisions for themselves and reaping the rewards or suffering the consequences of their own actions tends to do that. Though people, out of egalitarianism or envy, may wish for equality, America is not the place to find it; it's Marxism that promises equality. However, America's equality under the law is the model for the world.
