Learn the Ten Amendments that make up the Bill of Rights and why many insisted on them prior to ratifying the Constitution.
It’s a perfectly good plan. Why won’t you anti-federalist just ratify this Constitution?
1. Well if I sign this, well I know you’re gonna be, you’re gonna be the one telling me how to pray, And if I sign this, well I know you’ll take the right of free speech, and press and petition away,
2. If I sign this, well I know that you will not ,that you will not be able to leave my guns alone,
3. And if I sign this, I know trust you I cannot, I just cannot trust you won’t quarter in my home, ‘Cause I don’t trust your Constitution and I think it needs something more, Like a Bill of Rights to stop the government from trying to take more,
4. If I sign this, yes I know you’re gonna search, you’re gonna seize me up without probable cause,
5. And if I sign this, you’ll make me self-incriminate, or be deprived without the due process of laws,
6. When I sign this (when I sign this), well I know that any trial, that trial I’m in will carry on for years,
7. And if I sign, well I know to say goodbye, to say goodbye to any jury of my peers, ‘Cause I don’t trust your Constitution and I think it needs something more, Like a Bill of Rights to stop the government from trying to take more, Just sign it! Won’t sign it! Just sign it! Won’t sign it ’til a Bill of Rights is added to this plan! Just sign it! Won’t sign it! Just sign it! Won’t sign! Only then I’ll approve the Constitution.
8. If I sign this, well I know that you’ll be cruel, and unusual if you have to punish me,
9. And if I sign this, well I know you’re gonna say, you’re gonna say you’ve listed all my liberties,
10. And when I sign this, well I know you’re gonna think, you’re gonna think that unclaimed rights belong to you, So I won’t sign this, and you’d better go create, go create something that protects us from you, Go create something that protects us from you.
‘Cause I don’t trust your Constitution and I think it needs something more, Like a Bill of Rights to stop the government from trying to take more, Just sign it! Won’t sign it! Just sign it! Won’t sign it ’til a Bill of Rights is added to this plan! Just sign it! Won’t sign it! Just sign it! Won’t sign! Only then I’ll approve the Constitution.
The Bill of rights do NOT protect us from those that serve within our government, that is done by “We the People of the united States” doing our constitutionally required duty as the Militia of the several states. What the Bill of Rights does is LIST those things FORBIDDEN to those who serve within our governments, or when not entirely forbidden, lists the EXACT conditions into which those who serve within our government may LAWFULLY intrude, and in what manner that intrusion must be committed.
Preamble to the Bill of Rights: Congress OF THE United States begun and held at the City of New York, on Wednesday the Fourth of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine.
THE Conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution.”
The supreme LAWS are there, but WE are the enforcers – but even there the requirements must be met to have to full backing of the supreme Law, supreme contract, definer of our governments, divider of the powers – and THAT is in writing.
