That is a matter of opinion. I doubt we'll see any simple answers.

Another View: I don't believe that you will find that claim or guarantee written ANYWHERE in any legislation or law that has ever been passed in the US. The phrase is picked from the lyrics of a song - the US National Anthem. Songs are poetry set to music, and it is poetic license, expreessing a hope and desire that no man or nation in humankind is ever likely to achieve!

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free, Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
