Why was the list of bill of rights added to the US Constitution?
Some of the colonies refused to sign the US Constitution unless a Bill of Rights was added, providing Amendment number one, which has become "Of Primary Importance" in the task of "making democracy work." Amendment on gives citizens the rights of freedom of religion; the rights to free speech, assembly, and to a free press, as well as the right to "petition the Government for a redress of grievance." Amendment one also establishes the USA as a secular nation, providing a wall of separation between government and religious institutions. Amendment Two is probably the most mis-understood of all the Amendments. The Founders' phrase "A well regulated Militia" refers to the idea of a "well regulated police force." They believed, based on their experiences of being denied, by England's "governors," of each colonists' rights to have a police force to keep order in their colonies, that they needed to include that right in the Amendments. The reference of "the people" in the second clause is to the "well regulated Militia," which, as I noted, translates "well regulated Police force," as that was the meaning of Militia at that time. The National Rifle Association incorrectly claims that the reference to Militia means "individual citizens." It does not. It means "police force." There is NO Constitutional "right" for citizens to own guns in the USA. Amendment number Three also has its roots in the colonists' unhappy experiences of being forced to house British soldiers, against their desires. Amendment number Four is the extremely important protection of privacy rights, which have been denied at times in our history, especially in this century, despite this Constitutional protection. Amendments Five, Six, Seven, and Eight are known as "the rights of the accused," providing rights and protections for people who are accused of breaking laws. Amendment Nine is a broad protection, stating that in case the Founders failed to enumerate all the rights of citizens other rights may also be "retained" by citizens. Amendment Ten is known as the "states' rights" and "people's rights" amendment. like the Ninth the Tenth reserves unstated rights for the states and/or the people.
