December 15th is The Bill of Rights Day



December 15th is The Bill of Rights Day.

The United States Constitution stands as a model of cooperative political movements and a great benefit to the United States of America and her citizens. By skillfully maneuvering through the dangerous and deep waters of arguments and disagreements the politicians and the statesmen that convened at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787 presented to the entire world what cooperation can lead to...Freedom.
What started out as only two states sending delegates to the state house or otherwise known as Independence Hall in Philadelphia turned into a quorum of seven states on May 25. What the U.S. Constitution did for the United States of America was federally and legally lay down how much power to allow the central government, how many representatives in Congress to allow each state, and how these representatives should be elected--directly by the people or by the state legislators.
