Life was not much different than it is now. However, the framers of the Constitution had very strong memories of the British taking away their rights during the Revolution to do things like tax the colonists eggregiously or house soldiers in the colonists' homes without asking first. The Bill of Rights was created, in part, to stop such disregard for citizen's rights before it even started in the United States government.

How were all men created equally and unalienable rights and life liberty and the pursuit of happiness so different form before?

The phrase "all men are created equal" and the concept of unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, emerged during the Enlightenment, emphasizing individual rights and equality. Before this, societal structures often prioritized hierarchy, monarchies, and class distinctions, limiting rights to a privileged few. The Declaration of Independence sought to challenge these norms by asserting that these rights are inherent to all individuals, regardless of status. This marked a significant shift towards the idea that government should protect and uphold the rights of every citizen.
