A History of the Bill of Rights. [A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse..he Constitution was remarkable, but deeply flawed. For one thing, it did not include a specific declaration-or bill-of individual rights. It specified what the government could do but did not say what it could not do.
The amount of sleep each person needs depends on many factors, including age. Infants generally require about 16 hours a day, while teenagers need about 9 hours on average. For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night appears to be the best amount of sleep. Women in the first 3 months of pregnancy often need several more hours of sleep than usual.
How does sleep work in adulthood? Does it change -- for better or worse -- as we age? And why do we feel like we never get enough of it? An average adult needs between 7.5 and 8 hours of sleep per night. âBut many people can function with 6 hours' sleep, and there also some who need 9 hours or more,â says Sudhansu Chokroverty, MD, professor and co-chair of neurology and program director for clinical neurophysiology and sleep medicine at the New Jersey Neuroscience Institute at JFK Medical Center in Edison, N.J.
