A compromise following Constitution’s ratification, first 10 amendments proved win for American people
The first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, collectively known as the Bill of Rights, were ratified following vigorous national debate on this day in history, Dec. 15, 1791.
Their passage came three-and-a-half years after the Constitution was enacted to become the framework of the national government on June 21, 1788.
“A clash erupted over ratification [of the Constitution], with the Anti-Federalists opposing the creation of a strong national government and rejecting ratification and the Federalists advocating a strong union and adoption of the Constitution,” writes the Free Speech Center at Middle Tennessee State University.
The Bill of Rights was essentially a compromise between the competing factions and a win for the Anti-Federalists.
Patrick Henry, who famously declared “Give me liberty or give me death” at the Second Virginia Convention of 1775, was the leader of the movement.
