We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.Governing in accordance with that claim has been a tall order, but the arc of justice has over time bent toward equality. Persons without property, without white skins, without penises, have been brought within the ideal of formal equality, equal justice under law.
So, too, corporations.
However, most Americans hold that God created poor people, nonwhite people, and women.
We created corporations.
