BILL OF RIGHTS
DAY OBSERVED
The annual recognition' by the
Sons of the American Revolution
of the importance of Bill of Rights
Day, celebrated on December 15,
has a special significance this
year when so much for the rights
of man is at stake throughout the
world, William W. Elliott, presi
dent of Alaska Chapter, SAR said
this week.
“This is a very significant day
in our Constitutional history,” he
said. “It is the 163rd anniversary
of the adoption of the Bill of
Rights through endorsement by
the state of Virginia of ten am
endments to the original docu
ment. The import of these amend
ments cannot be overestimated.
Had not assurances been given
Thomas Jefferson and other great
leaders that they would be pro
posed. it is altogether probable
the Constitution would not have
been adopted and governmental
chaos might have ensued rather
than the stable government ^ha‘
came to be under the administra
tion of George Washington”.
There were nine of these fun
damental amendments, Elliott
pointed out. The first specifical
1„» set forth the four fundamental
THT 7TTT 77TT 7m Trrr rrir TT-TT
freedoms. The document goes on
to list and to specify personal
rights. The right of free men to
trial and justice is specified. The
last two articles of the Bill of
Rights take care to specify that
in so enumerating certain rights
there is no denial or disparage
ment of others retained by the
people, and to make it clear that
powers not specifically delegated
to the national government are
reserved to the states
Today, the original copy of the
‘Bill of Rights’ sealed in a pre
servative helium filled case, is
placed for exhibition in the Na
tional Archieve Building
