I mean the spirit of the statement with which the constitution was drafted.

I didn't mean that the statement was in the constitution.

what's the difference, since it isn't factual even in the U.S.?

None, and even the US's isn't even based on the true meaning of the statement. The principles the US was founded on were based on the needs of rich white landowners, all other white males were granted the rights because of the fact that the country needed their support to survive.

Great question, and I don't know. But I recommend we be patient (but firm) with them, as it took the U.S.A. more than a 100 years to actually make it start to be true (slavery). We fix our mistakes, and love doing so, ultimately. I would love to see it in an international constitution project. OOO! I feel a question coming on!

"All men are created equal" does not appear in the U.S. Constitution. It is a phrase from the Delcaration of Independence, however.

I don't know, but that's the Declaration of Independence, not the US Constitution.

Well, we got the idea from the French, so I bet they hung on to it. Possibly the British... Check each of their former colonies, that should cover nearly the entire globe!
