The Bill of Rights was established as a limitation upon the _______ A. People B. States C. Federal Government
This limitation upon a grant of power was obviously paralleled in America. The several states, upon creating a central government, felt the need to limit its scope and protect themselves from its possible encroachment. The following documents in their chronological order provide a continuous thread of beliefs establishing this parallel even more dearly: the English Bill of Rights of 1688; the Virginia Bill of Rights of June 12, 1776 (drawn by George Mason); the Declaration of Independence of 1776; and, the Bill of Rights of 1789-91. The continuity as well as the terms and phrasing are dear. There can be no doubt that the intentions of both bills are analogous.
