The Bill of Rights

We've finally conquered the Constitution and most of us did well on the test.  A few of you will need to take the test again if you did not score at least 70% (C-).  On Tuesday we will begin our study of the Bill of Rights- I know what you're thinking, "Mr. Munford, we already took the Constitution test!".
 You're right, we did.  But, the Bill of Rights is not really part of the Constitution, it is s separate document.  If you remember, 9 of 13 states were needed to ratify the Constitution for it to become the law of the land.  When only 8 states would say yes to the Constitution, some promises were made.  The most important of which, was that a Bill of Rights- to guarantee the basic rights of Americans- would be added.
