According to court documents obtained by TIME, those stories are false. In the case of a lawsuit filed in 2003 claiming damages, Stewart alleged that the idea of the 1984 film The Terminator and the 1999 film The Matrix were stolen from her own screen treatment entitled âThe Third Eye,â which was copyrighted in 1983.
The first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. Written by James Madison in response to calls from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties, the Bill of Rights lists specific prohibitions on governmental power.
The U.S. Constitution specifies how the government is run and how power is distributed. It also specifies what rights and privileges citizens have, which includes -- but is not limited to -- voting rights. Six amendments to the Constitution deal with voting, and they all reflect the era in which they were passed. The 12th Amendment, ratified in 1804, specifies how the president and vice president are elected.
