When did the US grant freedom?

The US came into existence in 1789, when the Constitution was ratified. This is a point that is anything but minor: the freedoms discussed/implied in the Constitution are not "granted" or "given" by the Constitution or by the government whose establishment it describes. The People who ratified the Constitution as the law of the land are the ones who established the Constitution as law, and therefore it is The People who proclaim the freedoms enjoyed under the Constitution's provisions. This may seem unusual to people from cultures/nations that are many hundreds or thousands of years old. But just a few years before the Constitution, the colonists fought a war to free themselves from the authority of the British monarchy.
