Are you talking about the Articles of Confederation?

The Bill of Rights is the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. It spells out protecting Americans' rights in relation to their government. It guarantees civil rights and liberties to the individual—like freedom of speech, press, and religion from the government.

You said "Our original Constitution" which was the Articles of Confederation and the Bill of Rights were not part of it. The Articles were finally ratified in 1781 Our current Constitution with the Bill of Rights replaced the Articles and was ratified on June 21, 1788.

I had to do a search for your story because you gave no link. Couldn't access it without giving my email address so I searched "Epoch Times" and the first thing I saw was "It's time to Overrule Roe v Wade".

I simply asked if you were talking about the Articles of Confederation when you said "original Constitution" and didn't ask for a somewhat inaccurate description of the Constitutional Amendment process.

Founding Fathers:
Alexander Hamilton
It's not tyranny we desire; it's a just, limited, *federal government.
-There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.
     
*Thomas Jefferson also similarly advocated for a small government that would essentially get out of the way of private lives and free enterprise.

-A national debt, if it is not excessive, will be to us a national blessing.

-Those who stand for nothing, fall for everything
--A well adjusted person is one who makes the same mistake twice without getting nervous.
-Learn to think continually

Now it looks like you're confusing the Articles of Confederation with the Federalist Papers. But that's OK, lots of people slept through American History.

I was just wondering why you posted one in a series of articles on "defending the Constitution" and then commented on "Our original Constitution" the Articles of Confederation?

So you posted one in a series of articles on "defending the Constitution" just so you could quote something written on the Jefferson Memorial?
