Best Answer

Congress moved quickly to pass the Bill of Rights because during the debate on the Constitution, many of the states had insisted that the bill of rights be added and this became one of the first tasks of the new Congress. They also moved quickly because the Bill Of Rights aims to protect people against abuses by the federal government and they wanted the Americans to know that.

Who promised the Bill of Rights on the US Constitution?

James Madison promised the Bill Of Rights on the constitution While James Madison was the primary mover of the Bill of Rights through the First Congress, the leadership of the Federalists (those in favor of the Constitution) had to generally promise to add a Bill of Rights during the ratification debates at the state ratifying conventions. There were many states that would not have ratified without the promise, and George Washington used his position as president to move the matter through Congress as well. Adding the Bill became part of the Federalist mantra when ratification seemed in jeopardy, and various states demanded the addition as a price for ratification.

Do you have any grounds to appeal to the court if you signned over your parental rights under false information?

If your rights were stripped involuntarily, you have the right to appeal, but you must move quickly and you should have expert legal assistance. Appellate guidelines move quickly and if you wait too long, you have no legal recourse. If your rights were stripped voluntarily, you would have had to cooperate with the proceedings and if you try to go back and say what you signed or stated was false, you have committed perjury, a crime, and it's doubtful the decision would be reversed.
