Our Protections - Our Liberties VUS5c The Bill of Rights Our Protections - Our Liberties

The major principles of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution were based on earlier Virginia statutes!

Virginia’s Influence: The major principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights Came from the Virginia Declaration of Rights This outlined basic human rights which the government should not violate. Written by George Mason in 1776

Virginia’s Influence: The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom ended the practice of a government supported church Separation of Church and State in Virginia Written by Thomas Jefferson Separation of Church and State was very important to Jefferson

The Bill of Rights: James Madison, a Virginian, consulted the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom when drafting the amendments that eventually became the United States Bill of Rights. The first 10 amendments to the Constitution define rights that can not be taken away!

Our Essential Liberties: 1st- Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition 2nd- state militia - bare arms 3rd- quartering soldiers 4th- protections from unlawful searches and seizures 5th- grand jury indictment, double-jeopardy, self-incrimination and due process 6th- speedy and public trial, jury trial, legal counsel and confront witnesses 7th- jury trial in civil cases 8th- cruel and unusual punishment 9th- enumeration of rights 10th- Federalism (powers not delegated to U.S. or denied to states belong to states or the people)

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are the rules that the government must follow. This framework limits the power of the government- and effectively protects the liberties of the people!
