150 Years Since Bill of Rights Congress Set
A retrospective article recalls the 150th anniversary of Congress submitting the first ten amendments, now the Bill of Rights, detailing its origins, proponents like Madison and Henry, ratification across states, and the enduring shield it provides against tyranny. It notes the amendments’ protections for religion, speech, press, arms, searches, trial rights, and due process, and highlights historical displays of the manuscript in Philadelphia.
