This is working as it should. The paragraph you point out should not match the
selector P[class="give"][class="liberty"], in fact no element should ever match
that selector since it matches an element where it's attribute is exactly the
given value, and an attribute cannot be exactly "give" and "liberty". You
likely want to use clase~="give" to match an element that contains "give" in
the class attribute.

In the future please attach single html files rather than archives, it makes it
much easier for us to look at these testcases.

In the future click URL field (notice the "jar" prefix).

You had not set the url field when I tested this. And a single file is much easier to view the source of rather than having to play around to see what is in the other (practically pointless in this case) file.
