Has freedom been achieved? What do you think?

I think freedom, in a way, has been achieved to an extent. My point being, you can't have total freedom becau
I believe that freedom has been achieved.
Themes I see in the information:
There seems to be a repeating theme of inclusion. In more depth, everyone of all races/ beliefs has
certain rights under the constitution.

Other questions I might have about what we covered today:

Why do certail groups think they are superior to other races

Please list 3 things you learned today:

1. Ammendment 14 says that states cannot take your rights away

2. Individuals of different races are sometimes treated differently
3. Latinos have achieved 85% freedom

Please explain how one thing you learned today relates to you:
The 14th ammendment relates to me because it tells the states that they cannot mess with my right of life, lib
anyone can do to take my freedom away, lest I go to jail or we are invaded by China.
