The Bill of Rights Read Aloud. The First 10 Amendments.

Показать описание

The Bill of Rights is one of the four historical documents that Saddleback Leather burns into large panels of leather to frame or hang on the walls of offices, lobbies, entrances or in homes. The Charters of Freedom are composed of The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. The Magna Carta is the other that we burn which was the foundation upon which human rights were recognized.

A quick history: The Constitution was signed on September 17th, 1787 with the understanding that there would be amendments that protected the natural rights we have as humans. In 1789, Congress had come up with 12 articles that they thought would work. George Washington sent out 13 copies to the 13 states for them to consider. They did and two years later, on December 14th, 1791, 10 of the 12 articles were ratified and became amendments to the Constitution. These amendments are called The Bill of Rights.

Since then, the Bill of Rights has been used the world over to help establish free speech, freedom of religion and many other rights for humanity in different constitutions.

I read this out loud in a darker area on purpose to keep the focus on the words. This is to listen to while working or driving, not necessarily to watch. Pass it on so more people can understand the freedoms and rights they were born with.
