What does life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and equal opportunity mean? What does it mean to be an American and do we meet those ideals today?

Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness is what the founding fathers wanted America’s main purpose to be. It means freedom and happiness, and overall a good society. I don’t think we meet those ideals today considering the inequalities and controversial topics in the world. Equal opportunity means everyone gets the same change, but due to oppression and brining one gender above another, we don’t have that either.
