OTOTOT..I'm not a lawyer, but there seems to be a subtle protector of rights in the body of the constitution itself in the doctrine of separation of powers, a very radical concept for the time. This was intended to insure a weak central government which would not have the power to interfere too much with personal freedom. Furthermore, the constitution was agreed to only with the promise that a bill of rights would follow. When they ratified the constitution Massachusetts, New York and New Hampshire made it clear that they expected a bill of rights to protect the people and the states from the federal government. In some states the vote for ratification was very close... In New York the vote was yeas 30, nays 27. If there had not been the promise of a bill of rights NY would likely have voted no.
What a remarkable document . No country was ever founded by a more wise and gifted set of men. George Washington turned down the chance to be king. Can you imagine that being the response of any of our recent presidents? Bill Clinton ?
