Bill of Rights - Codifying Our Individual Freedoms - 25 Interesting Facts

Bill of Rights - Codifying Our Individual Freedoms - 25 Interesting Facts

In this episode we review the history and lead up to the drafting of the Bill of Rights by James Madison, and the consideration of the amendments to the U.S. Constitution by Congress and the States in the years after the Constitution had been passed.  This was a difficult process and out of the original 19 amendments proposed, 10 were passed by Congress and ratified by the States.

The United States Bill of Rights comprises the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.  Proposed following the often bitter 1787–88 debate over the ratification of the Constitution and written to address the objections raised by Anti-Federalists, the Bill of Rights amendments add to the Constitution specific guarantees of personal freedoms and rights, clear limitations on the government's power in judicial and other proceedings, and explicit declarations that all powers not specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved to the states or the people.  The concepts codified in these amendments are built upon those in earlier documents, especially the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776), as well as the Northwest Ordinance (1787), the English Bill of Rights (1689), and Magna Carta (1215).
