National Egg Nog Day
The National Archives and Records Administration joins in the national celebration of the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, which spell out our rights as Americans. It guarantees civil rights and liberties such as freedom of speech, press, and religion. It sets rules for due process of law and reserves all powers not delegated to the federal government to the people or the states. The original joint resolution proposing the Bill of Rights is on permanent display at the National Archives in Washington, DC. This is consider a vital December global holiday.
Bill of Rights Day is a United States federal observance that occurs each year on December 15. Bill of Rights Day commemorates the adoption of the Bill of Rights as part of the U.S. Constitution in 1791 by declaring it Bill of Rights Day. It is similar to other holidays such as Flag Day and Veterans’ Day, but Bill of Rights Day does not replace any existing holiday or celebration like Independence Day (United States). The Bill of Rights and its protections remain very important to Americans today.
The Bill of Rights was first Introduced
Bill of Rights day was created in 1789 by James Madison and celebrated on September 25th under George Washington’s administration; however, this was changed after Thomas Jefferson took office because he wanted Bill of Right’s day to correspond with the actual date of the Bill of Rights, December 15.
Now Bill of Rights day is celebrated throughout the United States on this date each year with a Presidential proclamation in which the President calls for Americans to celebrate Bill of Rights Day in their way. Bill of Rights day is a time when Americans reflect on the meaning and importance that the Bill of Rights has had for their country over many years.
Bill of rights has been called “the guardian angels” or “the nation’s conscience” because they protect Americans from encroaching government power by recognizing our liberties, such as freedom of speech, religion, press, and assembly. Although Bill of Rights Day does not replace any existing holidays or celebrations it affirms American culture and values.
Bill of Rights Day recognizes the Bill of Rights as one of America’s most cherished symbols and heralds the great lengths to which Americans have gone overtime to preserve these important rights. Bill of Rights Day should not be confused with Bill of Rights Day (Virginia), Bill of Rights Celebration, Bill of Rights Suspension Celebration, or Repeal Day (which has historically been observed on December 15).

First Ten Amendments to the Constitution on December 15
The National Archives and Records Administration takes part in the national celebration of the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution, which define our rights as citizens.
It protects people’s civil rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech, press, and religion. It establishes procedures for legal due process and places all rights not given to the federal government in the hands of individuals or state governments.
On permanent display at the National Archives in Washington, DC, is the original joint resolution proposing the Bill of Rights.
The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.
Bill of Rights Day is an annual observance in the United States on December 15th, commemorating the ratification of the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights was written up by George Mason during the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Some individuals claim that Mason was heavily influenced by earlier precedents or structures that incorporated declarations. However, these claims are up for debate since the Bill of Rights is completely different from previous forms of government at the time. Additionally, the Bill Of Rights replaced an outdated document called “Articles Of Confederation”. The Articles were formed when 13 colonies became independent after American Revolution.
After 9 years under the Articles Of Confederation, the Bill Of Rights was ratified as a replacement. Bill Of Rights excludes the population from specific civil liberties and rights that should be protected by the government. This included freedom of speech, press, and religion along with the right to bear arms – all of which liberals claim are not applicable for today’s society and that the Bill Of Rights is outdated. Bill Of Rights Day commemorates and celebrates our rights and liberties stated in these amendments.
The greatest constitutional document ever written
On December 15th, 1791, Virginia became the Bill of Rights’ final state needed so it would become official law. George Mason regarded the Bill Of Rights as “the greatest constitutional document ever written.” Many people believe the Bill of Rights remains one of the greatest accomplishments in United States history alongside the Declaration Of Independence because we continue to remain as a free country under this system.
Bill Of Rights has made it possible for people to be able to speak their minds and express what they believe in. Bill of Rights protects our freedoms as Americans such as freedom of speech, press, religion, and right to bear arms – all rights liberals claim aren’t applicable for today’s society and the Bill of Rights is outdated.
On December 15th, 2008, Bill Of Rights Day had special meaning because the first African American became president on that same day: Barack Obama. Bill Of Rights was ratified by 13 colonies so another great accomplishment for United States history was created with this event.
In summary
While some may argue that the Bill of Rights is outdated and should no longer be acknowledged, others believe it’s one of the United States’ greatest accomplishments and should be observed annually.
Bill Of Rights helped our country to become a free nation, and we continue to remain as such today. Bill of rights includes protections for citizens so people can speak freely and express themselves without being persecuted by their government. Bill Of Rights Day commemorates the ratification of these documents so we remember all the liberties we have as Americans and the history behind the United States Bill Of Rights.
