The Bill of Rights and the Amendments

the Bill of Rights

            After the Constitution was adopted some states felt like there needed to be additions and changes made to the Constitutions. Some were angered by this and even though majority agreed on this and they had to publicly accept this. In private they held more concerns than the others and some even felt like the Bill of Rights and the amendments were not needed. This Bill of rights was decided by all and it was something even Jefferson agreed on while in Paris. The Amendments were added to the constitution which we stared using in 1788. The Articles of confederation were what was used to rule the land until the framers came up with the United States Constitution. Many didn’t think that the constitution would change anything they just thought that if they had a new set of revised rules that something’s would get better but all it they had was hope. The Constitutions and the bill of rights are still used to today and they are what tells us what we can legally do and the rights we have as American citizens. The amendments are additions to the Bill of rights and were added as the years progressed an example of one would be the amendment that allowed women to vote or the amendment that set the slaves free.
