Our First Bill of Rights
Our First Right was the right to be represented in Congress by someone who truly represented our interests.

We have lost that right.

Imagine running for Congress today where you have to convince 650,000 people to vote for your beliefs.  Takes real money to get your message out to that many people, so how would you ever stand a chance of winning?

The next RFK is being touted right now by the Judeo-MSM as Texan Beto O'Roark.  His expensive political signs were in thousands of yards. His expensive political ads filled Pandora. All this takes real money. Where did this upcoming Democrat "populist" for the poor and downtrodden get the money to run?  Helps that  his father-in-law, from New Mexico, is considered the Warren Buffet of Real Estate, managing some $20 billion in real estate. Helps that the rich Jewish MSM give him free ads.

Yes, that was a Senate race you say, not a House seat. But serves as an illustration of how a "Camelot" begins. All mythological fairytale paid for with big bucks.

Not to miss the point, but Ted Cruz won in Texas the last time with a mere million dollar sweetheart "loan" from his own wife's employer, Goldman Sachs Wall Street firm from NEW YORK CITY. Both are examples of the rich, from outside Texas, buying Texas elections. Democrat or Republican, didn't matter, as both candidates were financed from out of the State. Either way you get the same swamp.

Now imagine that George Washington's Original First Amendment to the Original 12 Bill of Rights had been enacted into the Constitution, so that the most you had to convince of your worth in a House race was 50,000 voters. Is it now feasible that even a person of moderate means, such as yourself, could be elected?  If you decided not to run yourself, is it possible that you may actually know the person, that he may have grown up in your small town, and you personally knew his integrity and morality? Is it possible for you to then go to the polls actually knowing you are electing a man who truly represents your congressional district, and not actually representing NYC?

People will mock that the 6,000 representatives would be unruly. EXACTLY! 

Mega Churches today can accommodate thousands, so there is no reason Washington cannot accommodate the same numbers in a House of True Representatives.








The Original Bill of Rights Had Twelve Amendments

How We Nearly Ended Up with 6,000 Members of Congres
by Robert Longley
Updated November 03, 2018

How many amendments are in the Bill of Rights? If you answered ten, you are right. But if you visit the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom at the National Archives Museum in Washington, DC, you will see that the original copy of the Bill of Rights sent to states for ratification had twelve amendments.

Fast Facts

  • The Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution.
  • The Bill of Rights establishes specific restrictions and prohibitions on the powers of the federal government.
  • The Bill of Rights was created in response to demands from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties already considered natural rights, such as the rights to speak and worship freely.
  • The Bill of Rights, originally in the form of 12 amendments was submitted to the legislatures of the states for their consideration on September 28, 1789, and was ratified by the required three-fourths (then 11) states in the form of 10 amendments on December 15, 1791.

What is the Bill of Rights?

The "Bill of Rights" is actually the popular name for a joint resolution passed by the first U.S. Congress on September 25, 1789. The resolution proposed the first set of amendments to the Constitution. Then as now, the process of amending the Constitution required the resolution to be "ratified" or approved by at least three-fourths the states. Unlike the ten amendments we know and cherish today as the Bill of Rights, the resolution sent to the states for ratification in 1789 proposed twelve amendments.

When the votes of the 11 states were finally counted on December 15, 1791, only the last 10 of the 12 amendments had been ratified. Thus, the original third amendment, establishing freedom of speech, press, assembly, petition, and the right to a fair and speedy trial became today's First Amendment.

Imagine 6,000 Members of Congress

Rather than establishing rights and freedoms, the first amendment as voted on by the states in the original Bill of Rights proposed a ratio by which to determine the number of people to be represented by each member of the House of Representatives.

The original first amendment (not ratified) read:

"After the first enumeration required by the first article of the Constitution, there shall be one Representative for every thirty thousand, until the number shall amount to one hundred, after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall be not less than one hundred Representatives, nor less than one Representative for every forty thousand persons, until the number of Representatives shall amount to two hundred; after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall not be less than two hundred Representatives, nor more than one Representative for every fifty thousand persons."

Had the amendment been ratified, the number of members of the House of Representatives could by now be over 6,000, compared to the present 435. As apportioned by the latest Census, each member of the House currently represents about 650,000 people.

The Original Second Amendment was About Money, not Guns

The original second amendment as voted on, but rejected by the states in 1789, addressed congressional pay, rather than the right of the people to possess firearms. The original second amendment (not ratified) read:

"No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened."

Though not ratified at the time, the original second amendment finally made its way into the Constitution in 1992, ratified as the 27th Amendment, a full 203 years after it was first proposed.

And So the Third Became the First

As a result of the failure of the states to ratify the original first and second amendments in 1791, the original third amendment became a part of the Constitution as the First Amendment we cherish today.
 

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Background

Delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 considered but defeated a proposal to include a bill of rights in the initial version of the Constitution. This resulted in a heated debate during the ratification process.

The Federalists, who supported the Constitution as written, felt a bill of rights was not needed because the Constitution intentionally limited the powers of the federal government to interfere with the rights of the states, most of which had already adopted bills of rights. The Anti-Federalists, who opposed the Constitution, argued in favor of the Bill of Rights, believing that the central government could not exist or function without a clearly established list of rights guaranteed to the people. (See: The Federalist Papers)

Some of the states hesitated to ratify the Constitution without a bill of rights. During the ratification process, the people and the state legislatures called for the first Congress serving under the new Constitution in 1789 to consider and put forward a bill of rights.

According to the National Archives, the then 11 states began the process of ratifying the Bill of Rights by holding a referendum, asking its voters to approve or reject each of the 12 proposed amendments. Ratification of any amendment by at least three-quarters of the states meant acceptance of that amendment. Six weeks after receiving the Bill of Rights resolution, North Carolina ratified the Constitution. (North Carolina had resisted ratifying the Constitution because it did not guarantee individual rights.) During this process, Vermont became the first state to join the Union after the Constitution was ratified, and Rhode Island (the lone holdout) also joined.

Each state tallied its votes and forwarded the results to Congress.
