There were no concerns because the men who wrote the constitution were Masonic members. Washington was Grand Master and a third degree mason. Franklin, Adams, Jefferson and many others were all masons. Much of the constitution used items from the Masonic constitution and many of the congressional rites are very Masonic like. There have been 14 presidents who have been Masonic members.
Bill of Rights.
for the most part yes. a lot of our history is shaped and molded by the masons, althought they don't tell you this in the history books.
The Framers demanded that a Bill of Rights be included in the US Constitution as a way to address their concerns. The major concern included the government becoming too powerful and compromising the freedoms and rights they had fought for.
There are no Catholic Masons in the U.S. or elsewhere. Any Catholic who joins the Masons incurs automatic excommunication.
Most Great Americans never joined the Masons. I have nothing against Masons, but, it is not necessary to join the Masons to become great in the USA.
The Colonists and their descendants (us) need a Supreme body whose sole focus is to uphold and protect people's rights under the US Constitution. Though the Founders could not have envisioned the array of human rights and civil rights' concerns that would confront the US hundreds of years later, the US Constitution addresses most of the concerns, broadly and generally. But if the US Supreme Court were swayed by changes in political ideas and public political opinion, the Court could violate or dismantle the US Constitution with every change in political leaders.
How many Freemasons are in the Government?
First, let me tell you my opinion about the Masons. Masons are a bunch of smart people who like to talk with the members of their club about things that are important to them. Everything else you hear, is most likely a conspiracy. I am NOT saying that it is impossible for the Masons to have bad things going on in their club, but I find that idea highly unlikely. Now, back to your question, I think that the Masons have some sort of support from the government in some way. There are MANY people in the government who are Masons. 15 of our presidents were Masons.
The ideas and concerns of the anti federalists shaped the constitution because without their ideas we would have never had a bill of rights and the bill of rights has helped protect the basic rights of the American people.
Compare & Contrast:Iroquois Constitution & U.S. Constitution
There were two major concerns at the US Constitutional Convention. One was that delegates that were not Federalists demanded amendments to the Constitution to guarantee that the Federal government would not infringe upon the laws of the various states. Another important issue was how to deal with the slavery question. The best compromise that was accepted was that after 10 years, no more new slaves would be imported to the US.
