1776
in the 1st united states congress, following the state legislatures' request, james madison proposed twenty constitutional amendments based on state bills of rights and english sources such as the bill of rights 1689. among them was an amendment protecting findings of fact in civil cases exceeding a certain dollar value from judicial review. madison proposed that this amendment should be added directly to article iii, though congress later determined to add the proposed bill of rights to the end of the constitution, leaving the original text intact. congress also reduced madison's proposed twenty amendments to twelve, and these were proposed to the states for ratification on september 25, 1789.
seventh amendment to the united states constitution
the colorado right-to-rest act, known as hb-1284, was proposed to the state legislature in 2015. like the bill proposed in california, hb-1284 seeks to protect the rights of unhoused individuals to move without fear of harassment, sleep, eat and share food, engage in religious practices, and occupy a legally parked vehicle in public spaces. like all the homeless bills of rights proposed before it, this legislation does not guarantee the rights of unhoused individuals to obtain safe shelter. the bill is currently under consideration by the colorado state senate.
