Presentation transcript:

The Bill of Rights 8.16d - Explain the purposes of the U.S. Constitution, (including the protection of individual rights, by reading the Bill of Rights and listing the individual rights it defines). 8.21d - Summarize the reasons for the creation of the Bill of Rights (in order to demonstrate that the Founding Fathers set in place a process by which the Constitution could be changed to expand and protect individual liberties).

Remember . . . The Anti-Federalists argued that the Constitution gave the government the power to limit individual liberties. To alleviate the fears of the public (and to take the teeth out of the Anti-Federalists), the Bill of Rights was added to the US Constitution.

What are the Bill of Rights? The first ten amendments (changes) to the US Constitution are known as the Bill of Rights. These outline to basic freedoms that the government cannot violate and are possessed by every person, no matter what.

Why study the Bill of Rights? “Those who do no understand their rights can rest assured that they will be violated.”
