Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on The Bill of Rights. It needs to be at least 1500 words. For example, even if the residents of a neighborhood demand that the police should search each house in the area for illegal weapons. the police can not do so. A small town may find that the newest bar in their downtown district is a topless bar and the city government will be unable to close it down. A teacher can not teach the children a religious song in kindergarten and abortion is made completely legal to any woman who wants it (Hickok, 1991). All these things, for better or for worse can find their roots in the Bill of Rights. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the document itself and the various rights become essential for any student of history, law, sociology, and even economics.

The Bill of Rights is the name given to the first ten amendments of the United States Constitution. These amendments were introduced by James Madison in 1789 and after their ratification by the member states of the union, they came into effect in 1791. Amongst the strongest supporters of the bill was Thomas Jefferson who was also one of the principal writers of the constitution. Of course, the bill itself is based on the writings and thoughts of many different authors of the age of enlightenment as well as other documents that outlined what the rights of the people should be but Jefferson and Madison can be considered the primary authors of the bill itself (Labunski, 2006).

The amendments included in the bill are varied and distinct. Briefly, the Bill of Rights prohibits the American government from making any laws that support an established state religion, forbids the government to prevent people from keeping or bearing arms, and stops the federal government from depriving any person of liberty, property or life without the processes required by law. The Bill of Rights also guarantees public trials for accused individuals who are supposed to be conducted by an impartial jury (Labunski, 2006).

Madison proposed the Bill of Rights and in some ways, it can be considered a compromise on the constitution itself since many founding fathers who agree with the constitution still objected that it did not safeguard the basic rights for the people of America. The bill was entered into the constitution as a set of ten amendments while two minor articles in the original document that limited the right of congress to change the salaries of senators and congress members and one which defined the number of representatives based on population were not included. After all, was said and done about the Bill of Rights, three-fourths of the states ratified the document and it was entered into law in 1791 (Levy, 2001).
