Today is Bill of Rights Day.
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 ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.
In order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers….
Restrictive clauses.
It’s a shame that not just those in Washington, but so many of the citizens of this country, seem to forget that government should be restrained and controlled… not the citizens.
