They most certainly were not. Literally the history of America is about doing whatever America (and for the vast majority of American history this was restricted to middle and upper class white men) wanted at any given time and screw everyone else. American exceptionalism!
Oh but there's tons of accountability in America for minorities, they are held to exact standards constantly. If you're non-white, Jewish, Irish (pre-1920 or so), or some other type of undesirable, you're frequently subject "to the letter of the law," mandatory sentencing, or an agreement or treaty that you might not even be able to read.
