WEEK 3 :D

Well 1st of all, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! ;D haha

The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution because people feared that the Constitution as drafted would give the central government too much power and allow them to be tyrannic. When added, the Bill of Rights protected the rights of individual citizens. Years ago, that was the case, and to this day, that is STILL the case. The Bill of Rights is necessary to ensure the equality of everyone under the U.S. government. One of the 1st ten amendments is the right to keep and bear arms (2nd amendment). This amendment has been challenged many times in history but without it, we would not be able to keep weapons, not even for our own protection! What if robbers entered a house and were able to take whatever they wanted because the owners weren't allowed any weapons to defend their house with? That wouldn't be very fair now would it? >:( but don't worry, the 2nd amendment DOES allow us to keep and bear arms so haha three cheers for the BILL OF RIGHTS! ;)
