I suggest you write your name, the date of purchase and a note on the back for your descendants to talk about 150 years from now. This Bill of Rights is one of those purchases they'll fight over when you're dead. It'll go on from generation to generation since it is burned in leather and will be a conversation starter for parents to teach their children and grandparents to talk about with their grandkids. The Bill of Rights is one of the four historical documents that Saddleback Leather burns into large panels of leather to frame or hang on the walls of offices, lobbies, entrances or in homes. The Charters of Freedom are composed of The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. The Magna Carta is the other we burn which was the founding document in England for human rights to be formally established in government. It has it's fingerprints all over our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.
---A Quick History
The Constitution was signed on September 17th, 1787 with the understanding that there would be amendments that protected the natural rights we have as humans. In 1789, Congress agreed on and proposed 12 Articles they thought would work. George Washington sent a copy of them to each of the 13 states for them to consider. One of these copies of the Articles is on display in Washington D.C. today. Two years later, on December 14th, 1791, 10 of the 12 articles were ratified and became what we call today, The Bill of Rights. They are the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. Since then there have been 17 more Amendments added. Actually, one of the Articles that was rejected, became an official Amendment to the Constitution in 1992. Since then, the Bill of Rights has been used the world over to help other governments develop their constitutions around the same ideas of free speech, freedom of religion etc. I read this out loud in a darker area on purpose to keep the focus on the words. This is to listen to while working or driving, not necessarily to watch. Pass it on so more people can understand the freedoms and rights they were born with.
