On June 21, 1788 our forefathers created, finished and autographed a very important document, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America“, the preamble heard around the world.

However, some of the state signers were not fully happy with the document and in June of 1789, Congress was re-convened in support of those states that had some reservations after ratifying the Constitution. They expressed the idea that the government could misconstrue or abuse its power and nothing was in place to protect the people from the government. So the “Bill of Rights” was created to protect its people from the possibility of a tyrannical government.

After they had created the first ten Amendments of this new “Bill of Rights” the state representatives on December of 1791, just 3 years after the Constitution, autographed the document acknowledging their approval of said document. What this did was give “We the People” protection from future governments that might head the wrong direction, WOW!, they had vision. As you’ve seen from the Act of 1871, just 80 years later, what the founding fathers were afraid might happen, did just that, and “We the People” have been asleep at the wheel for the last 150 plus years.
