When was the 7th Amendment made? According to my little handbook, "The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America," printed and published by the Cato Institute: "The first ten Amendments (the Bill of Rights) were ratified effective December 15, 1791." Please, please--Find a copy of these documents, preferably with a discussion and clarification by someone with the reputation of the Cato Institute, and read them! I had read all this stuff when I was in school, and when I read them again in this little booklet, it was as if I was reading it for the first time! The explanation and text together is priceless. I had even forgotten the part about government deriving its power from the people to be governed! "....Reason is the foundation of the Founders' vision--the method by which we justify our political order--liberty is its aim. Thus, the cardinal moral truths are these:

that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed.

We are all created equal, as defined by our natural rights; thus, no one has rights superior to those of anyone else. Moreover, we are born with those rights, we do not get them from government--indeed, whatever rights or powers government has come from us, from 'the Consent of the Governed.'" There is more to this great quotation! It is priceless, and vital for all Americans to learn this!! Government receives power to govern from the people it governs. We allow the government to have only certain limited powers over us. Anything beyond that becomes tyranny and/or the basis for a dictator to take the reins of government and stick the people with slavery in some form. Please obtain a copy of this valuable little booklet. "Additional copies of this booklet can be purchased for $1 each by calling toll-free 1-800-767-1241 (noon to 9:00 p.m. eastern time). The address I found is:

Cato Institute

1000 Massachusetts Ave., N.W.

Washington, DC 20001

Please read this book, keep it by your side, in your purse or pocket, in your car, by your computer, etc. Buy extra copies and pass them out to your friends and neighbors. It is embarrassing how many citizens of this great country know nothing about the two most important documents that exist in this country!

The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are known as the Bill of Rights. They were introduced by James Madison to the First United States Congress in 1789 as a series of constitutional amendments, and came into effect on December 15, 1791, when they had been ratified by three-fourths of the States.
