Framing of the Constitution

Mason and his helpers were the men who wrote the first Bill of rights and the first Constitution. Even though many didn’t believe in this new constitution he still came up with the ideas and it was passed just like the Bill of rights he thought it needed as well. Nearly ten years later we would have our Permanent Constitution and Bill of Rights. After their freedom from Brittan the Americans had no structure and were badly in need of this.  That is where the Articles of Confederation came in and were later changed because more structure was needed and more stability is what was needed to save the society of that time. This was a hot discussion topic mainly because most of the men thought that it was fine the way it was and did not need the Bill of right. To some extent all agreed on that but then they started to notice that they could add some things that would clarify some of the articles and some that were not even stated. I think that overall this was good to add the Bill of rights mainly because now we know many were added later on throughout the years and it was easier to do without having to redo the entire Constitution.
