Written over 200 years ago, the Bill of Rights is considered the cornerstone of our nation’s civil liberties and freedom.

This program details the struggle between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists to ratify the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You will learn how Virginia’s Declaration of Rights, authored by George Mason, became the basis for the first ten amendments, as well as how James Madison pushed the Bill of Rights through Congress.
