That's what Lincoln said! America's enemies point to slavery and use it to call the ideals of liberty lies.

The founders didn’t build the free society. They built the society capable of altering itself, and that grew into the free society.

Other countries have also altered themselves to become free societies.

Sorry, but freedom wasn't invented by slave masters.

And the fight continues. The founders were so far down, because basic freedoms for everyone is 0, and we have to fight to get up to that point. The founders negotiated a freeer society, like you said able to modify itself, and the general arc of soiety seems to be the expansion of freedom for the average person.

One day, we may even be able to eat without justifying our food through labor!
