Rich, I bought that "created equal and unalienable rights" thing right up to adulthood and figured out that meant rich white men had all the rights and poor had none and women and slaves weren't included until many decades later after marches on Washington for right to vote and civil rights movement. So those who wrote this were consolidating their power over everyone not included in social economic circle. Same as now! Hamilton would not allow poor to be included in managing country's finances. They  are not included because they worked for living and not owned property and didn't come from ranks of  non heir sons of aristocracy in England like he and Washington.
