The thesis explores the shift from individual freedom to equality in the context of the U.S. Constitution and its amendments, highlighting the compromises made to unite the states, which ultimately contributed to the Civil War. It examines the social disparities between African Americans and whites, rooted in slavery and segregation, and analyzes the historical and ideological evolution of these concepts. The work also addresses contemporary issues, such as the reparations debate, concluding that the Founding Fathers prioritized state unity over equality, leading to long-term conflicts and a reorientation of constitutional values.
