English Bill of Rights to U.S. Bill of Rights

There was a debate on how the Constitution should be written. The Establishment Party (Federalists) wanted the constitution without a Bill of Rights. The Anti-Establishment Party (Anti-Federalists) wanted the Bill of Rights installed into it. These two factions evolved into the Federalist Party and Democratic-Republican Party.
When one party in the US Senate filibusters a bill, it takes 60 votes to end the debate. Long, sometimes irrelevant speeches are a common feature during filibusters.
Whether or not there are hidden images on a one dollar bill is up for debate -- some people claim that around the large "1" on the upper right of the bill is a tiny owl or spider, whether it is actually there or just something people "see" like seeing things in the clouds is uncertain. There are many cool things on a dollar bill, such as the Roman Numerals that stand for "1776" and the letter within the circular seal on the face of the bill that stands for the city in which that particular dollar was printed; "K," for example, stands for Dallas.
The House Rules Committee places the bill on a calendar for floor debate in the House or the Senate.
