Today, in 1789, is the day the Bill of Rights went into effect. It had been approved on March 4th by Congress. Originally there 12 amendments, the first two failed to pass the Congress on the original document, so we ended up with 10. These 10 deal with most basic rights an American can expect to receive… they are being challenged today by those who are elected to defend the Bill of Rights thinking they know better and should change the rules we live by because they think it is a good idea. These are generally the same people who feel they know better how to raise your children, spend your money and play a bad version of Robin Hood where they rob from the rich and keep for themselves. But who are we? We certainly aren’t “We the people” anymore. Maybe we are getting what we deserve.
How to celebrate – How many of the 10 amendments can you name? Can you name the two amendments that did not pass? Do you think the Federal government should be stronger than the state government?
