The bill of rights makes our Constitution unique in that it guarantees certain rights in residents that few other countries have.
A holiday celebration website has a Bill of Rights Day page:
The Bill of Rights became part of the Constitution of the United States on December 15, 1791. On the 150th anniversary of this event in 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed December 15 as Bill of Rights Day. He wanted to make Americans aware of their rights and to remind them of their duties as citizens of the United States. On this day in 1991, Americans recognized the 200th anniversary of these important amendments that have proved so essential to the American political tradition.
Happy Bill of Rights Day!
