“December 15 is Bill of Rights Day, which commemorates the ratification of the original ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Some people were originally concerned that the listing of certain rights might be used as an excuse to limit individual rights in the future while others feared that without a bill of rights, we might end up with no recognized rights at all. The inclusion of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments was supposed to alleviate any fears about future rights being limited, but alas, these amendments have been largely ignored by the courts over the years.

While we are thankful for the Bill of Rights, we also recognize that the rights it recognizes cannot be secured by a document alone. We must remain ever vigilant and guard against infringements of all kinds and on all fronts.”

— Founder’s Bible

The Purpose and Origin of the Bill of Rights

In this day of language overload, you will be pleased to know that the text of our entire Bill of Rights contains only 468 words. The Fifth Amendment is the longest, totaling 117 words. The shortest, the Eighth Amendment, is a mere twelve words. But the length of our Bill of Rights was not the product of a remarkable foresight that one day America would become a generation of nonreaders. No, our Bill’s length was determined by the fact that our Founders had something very definite in mind when they framed it.
As James Madison acknowledged when he introduced the amendments in that first Congress, these amendments were designed as “effectual provisions against encroachments on particular rights,” “safeguards” to which the people have been “accustomed to have interposed between them and the magistrate who exercises sovereign power.” In other words, the Bill of Rights did not create the rights that it was designed to secure, but secured rights that preexisted the document.

“Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”

“A Republic, if you can keep it.” — Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

Never in our Nation’s history has free speech and religious freedom been this close to extinction. With two sons who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, I admired their heart to serve and defend the country they love and honor. I then realized that the fight isn’t abroad; it is in our cities, counties, states, and country. We can no longer sit on the sidelines while our sons and daughters go abroad to defend our country and come home to a place they no longer recognize because we didn’t watch, fight, and defend our Republic. It is our responsibility as citizens to protect and fight for what our Founders have given us.

In Liberty,
