Add, shamelessly enriching the elite at the expense of the people.

And, oh yeah, enabling genoocide.

    The Magna Carta didn’t apply to serfs, but that doesn’t make it any less important to the history of political progress. I find the ideas of the founding fathers to be similar. Self serving, but an improvement none the less.

      The Civil Rights the founding fathers defined did not apply to Natives, slaves and indentured servants. A step further than the Magna Charta, but less than the french revolution.
