tuition of the United States was
completed and signed by delegates
to the famous Federal Convention
meeting at Independence Hall,
Philadelphia. M
On September n25, 1789-just 148

addition was voted to that historic
document by another group of able

In the first Congress to meet under
their new Constitution.
It was our Bill of Rights-the
popular name for the first ten
amendments, which specify the con-
stitutional rights and privileges of
all the people.
So important are the amendments
that they have come to be generally
considered as a part of the original
Constitution.
For these additions to our funda-
mental law there was a real and
nationwide demand. It came both
from the states, as such, and from
individual citizens.
In many states only the promise
that the amendments would be in
cluded assured ratification of the
Constitution.
Jealous to protect the liberty won
In the. Revolution, the people were
determined that their personal rights
should be fully protected against any
possible encroachment by govern
ment. Thomas Jefferson was one of
the many distinguished patriots who
spoke and wrote vigorously in sup
port of the amendments.
Congress, meeting in its first SEES
sion, reflected those views.
Accordingly the amendments
which now constitute our Bill of
Rights were quickly adopted in the

Today seems to indicate an alert
mind with considerable business intui-
ton, but with a peculiar disposition,
and possibly an awkwardness of bear
ing. The native should strive to Gull
tivate a practical trend of mind, to
overcome what may be certain lack
