Description:
The US Constitution and Bill of Rights were written a few years after the US won independence from England. Our country's rules for government include many of the English traditions originated in the Magna Carta, and brought to America by colonists. The 'framers' did not want the new US government to violate peoples' rights the way the English had.Added to timeline:
