The United States doesnt follow through with the ideal liberty. The Conscription Procalmation was one event that caused the United States to not uphild to this ideal. The Conscription forced men 21-30 to register for miltary (war). IT was mandatory for them to registerand if they didn't they were punished ( sent to jail), then were registered by the governmant anyway. This was basically like enforcing work/labor as done in slavery but these actions were abolished by the 13th amendment which therefore would make this law unconstitutional.
The U.S doesn't follow through witt the ideal democracy. The Espionage Act and Sedition Act was another cause for why the U.S did not uphold to this ideal. These Acts forbitted people from saying or doing/taking action with any negative intentions towards government. The first amendment in the constitution states that Americans are given the right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The Espionage Act and Sedition Act took away theseconstitutional right from americans.
During World War 1 the U.S did not uphold to the ideal equality. "The French Directive" was also the cause for the U.S not upholding its ideals. The American American military leaders were treated inferior to other military leaders. The French military leaders felt as if the more negros that came to the military, the black aspirations which to them ( whites) appear intolerable.Others weren't allowed to eat, talk, meet, shake hands, etc with the black leaders.
The United States didn't uphold to the ideals liberty, democracy and equality. For example the Conscription Proclamation denied America from liberty, The Espionage /Sedition Act denied the U.S from democracy. and the French Directive denied the United States from equality.
