THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES
Is four pages long and well worth viewing in entirety on this
website
THE BILL OF RIGHTS
The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the
time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to
prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and
restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public
confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its
institution.
~Preamble to the Bill of Rights
The Constitution might never have been ratified if the
framers hadn't promised to add a Bill of Rights. The first ten amendments to
the Constitution gave citizens more confidence in the new government and
contain many of today's Americans' most valued freedoms.
