The Bill of Rights is the name by which the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are known. They were
introduced by James Madison to the First United States Congress in 1789 as a series of constitutional amendments, and came
into effect on December 15, 1791, when they had been ratified by three-fourths of the States. Thomas Jefferson was the
main proponent of the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights prohibits Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion, forbids infringement of
the right to keep and bear arms, by Congress or citizens in a federal territory and prohibits the federal government from
depriving any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

| Above in more detail: "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation and foreign commerce. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives and liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the State." - James Madison, Federalist Paper No. 25, 1788 - considered the 'father of the Constitution' |
"On every question of construction, [let us] carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was Instead of Trying What Meaning May Be Squeezed Out of the Text, or Invented Against it, Conform to the Probable One in which it was Passed." Thomas Jefferson |
