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.
E Unum Pluribus: From one, many. There are 27 amendments in the United States Constitution. But only the 10 th Amendment addresses the power of states. Each state promised to be subject to the laws of the United States of America when they sought admission to the union. Those promises to the federal government can be found in each state constitution. But states agreed to be subject, not necessarily subordinate, to the federal government. The literature and discussions concerning the relationship between state and federal power is beyond the scope of this project.
