The past 225 years have been pretty tame for most of the original copies, but one of the yellowed parchment sheets — the version destined for North Carolina — ended up on a much longer journey than its drafters could have imagined, involving shady collectors, an FBI sting operation and a theft masked by the fog of war. ]]> 2018-01-12 19:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/GoddessOfTheLibrary/wfpxsr653ha1/wish/221112399 In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of the common law. https://padlet.com/GoddessOfTheLibrary/wfpxsr653ha1/wish/221112441 https://nccs.net/online-resources/us-constitution/amendments-to-the-us-constitution/the-bill-of-rights-amendments-1-10/amendment-7-rights-in-civil-cases]]> 2018-01-12 19:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/GoddessOfTheLibrary/wfpxsr653ha1/wish/221112441 The first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. Written by James Madison in response to calls from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties, the Bill of Rights lists specific prohibitions on governmental power. The Virginia Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason, strongly influenced Madison. https://padlet.com/GoddessOfTheLibrary/wfpxsr653ha1/wish/221112481 2018-01-12 19:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/GoddessOfTheLibrary/wfpxsr653ha1/wish/221112481 The Bill of Rights is the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. It spells out Americans’ rights in relation to their government. It guarantees civil rights and liberties to the individual—like freedom of speech, press, and religion. It sets rules for due process of law and reserves all powers not delegated to the Federal Government to the people or the States. And it specifies that “the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” https://padlet.com/GoddessOfTheLibrary/wfpxsr653ha1/wish/221112485 (Full text)

In 1215 England’s King John, under pressure from rebellious barons, put his seal to Magna Carta, which protected subjects against royal abuses of power. Among Magna Carta’s more important provisions are its requirement that proceedings and prosecutions be according to “the law of the land”–the forerunner of “due process of law”–and a ban on the sale, denial, or delay of justice. ]]> 2018-01-12 19:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/GoddessOfTheLibrary/wfpxsr653ha1/wish/221112760 On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States proposed 12 amendments to the Constitution.

Virginia’s 1776 Declaration of Rights, drafted chiefly by George Mason, was a notable forerunner.
