Hey guys- when I get back home to my computer I'll have some great posts, but one thing I wanted to post was when I went into the national archives building to see the constitution.
Besides the 5 security guards carrying revolvers standing throughout the room, I wanted to share something I never knew. Over by the Bill of Rights, there was an original document showing the edits made by the founders.
For the first amendment (on this document it was the 4th), it originally did NOT have "congress shall make no law", but at the end it had "shall not be infringed." in my mind that puts those statements on possibly the same level as far as meaning...
Also- the actual bill of rights was not in the order it is now...I knew they were originally in a different order, but I thought that was just during draft making. I'm wondering why this copy of the bill of rights was enshrined next to the constitution and declaration...? Any answers??
Thanks guys!
Also- I can't understand why or how it's possible for these places to ban gun possession on premesis?? I thought the constitution restrains the government??
