(libertarian belief) that all men are equal before the law

Really? American colonists were Englishmen, and as we all know, there was a big difference in the treatment of a commoner and a member of the Peerage when going before a judge.
Neither England nor any other nation on Earth at the time had a system of law where all men were expected to be treated equally under the law.

REALLY ? And the German, Dutch, and French colonists ( to mention but a few here ) weren't colonists on the North American continent ? How very peculiar ? All American colonists were E-N-G-L-I-S-H ? That's why our " mother tongue " was almost G-E-R-M-A-N ?

Neither England nor any other nation on Earth at the time had a system of law where all men were expected to be treated equally under the law. Which has exactly nothing to do with your fraudulent attempt to claim the Founding Fathers as Libertarians.
