Does America live up to its founding ideals?

In my opinion, sort of.

Explanation:

On of the founding ideals was, Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, is unalienable. Yet, this is still not an option for some humans. No, we don't have slaves, but some people are so poor, they can never have many of these things. Another one is, "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal." First off, this does not include women, which is severe discrimination. Also, now, there is still racial discrimination for all.

I hope this helps, and please mark me brainliest.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
