" No it doesn't say that." True, that was the Declaration of Independence. But do you really think that the US had drifted from the concept that all men are created equal(the in the eyes of the law is implied) in the decade or so between the two documents? If so, I'd have to see where in the The Federalist Papers that they decided to ditch that part... I think this part can safely be assumed.

The Constitution states that everyone must be treated equally. No it doesn't say that. Wrong. Article XIV. Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
