I believe this was a major quantum leap in the history of  human  thought
and concioussness. A giant step in the right direction of our  true
divinity but it was sorely flawed; By the concept of property  rights.
This is where the founding fathers eogos got in the way.
...
The liberation movements of the last century have been based on the  same
concept of unalienable rights and have attempted to fine tune  the
document for  a more equitable distribution of planet power to  correct
the flaw.
<sigh> There is a fundamental fact of politics/economics that a socialist
economy and a democratic political structure can not co-exsist.
The concept of property rights is not a flaw but the foundation on which
the constitution and this country is built on. Without the ability to
controll ones own property all other rights fall by the wayside.
I sugest reading "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith for a better
understanding of Capitalism and why it is the *only* economic model that
works for a free society.
...
Even better, "The Road to Surfdom," F.A. Hayek, totally debunks the basis
of a planned economy and how the loss of property ownership and economic
freedom leads directly and inevitably to totalitarianism.
Yes, very good read. Have you read any of his other works?

I thought that Smith was a good start as it was his economic philosophy
that guided our founding fathers.

I find it rather depressing that too few people understand the
relationships between economics & politics and how they affect the freedom
of the individule.
