Many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights were already freedoms felt by the American people, but politicians like Jefferson, for example, demanded that the Bill of Rights be made just to protect our liberties in any potential future attack on them.Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, right?
Now carry on.
If so, I'm not sure what your point is. I never said that amendments had to be corrections to the original Constitution. I just pointed out that some rights were not present in the original, and came about through amendments.
