"do you think this country still exists today by accident?"
I suppose you are comparing the vastness of 230 years with 50,000 years. There is a huge lack of historical perspective here.

The gift to the American people and humanity of the Constitution (you so correctly specify) explains the current fight over the International Criminal Court (ICC).

These rights afforded the individual by their creator are only upheld in courts under US jurisdictional mandate. No other country or institution recognizes these rights.

>>"... this is what makes this country so incredible... do you think this country still exists today by accident? Just plain luck that we're the most powerful and richest nation in the world, where people still risk their lives and the lives of their families to come here?"<<
