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.
