In the bill of rights, James Madison uses diction, syntax, and repetition to signify the libertization of every citizen in America by granting each individual, specific rights of their own. I. historical background The bill of rights was created approximately five years after the American revolution, which was the one and only revolution that granted the united states their freedom from Great Britain, in fact, it was such a long and concurring war, most were distraught with the length of the revolution and began to question its end, but after 18 very long years, we successfully gained our freedom from the evil all powerful currency-stealing superpower we so call Great Britain.

pass(“Constitution”). One of those compromises was the Bill of Rights (“Constitution”). There were two sides the federalist and the anti-federalist (“Constitution”).

Wilson believed the constitution shouldn’t contain a Bill of Rights. He felt a list of rights would become a source of authority to Americans, would restrict freedom to establish rights, and would override self-governance. He felt an appropriate constitution guarantees and protects citizens’ rights (Zink, J. (2014). James Wilson versus the Bill of Rights: Progress, Popular Sovereignty, and the Idea of the U.S. Constitution, Political Research Quarterly, 67(2), 253-265). This presentation of…

One of these examples is Bill James, generally considered the father of sabermetrics, whose ideas were dismissed for years before earning the respect they deserved. When James published his first Baseball Abstract in 1977, he only sold 75 copies, but as Lewis puts it in the book “[i]t didn’t occur to him to be disappointed by a sale of seventy five copies; he was encouraged”(72-73) and that “[n]o author has ever been so energized by so little”(73). James continued to publish a new copy of his…

At the surface Major League Baseball seems to be an organization crafted to promote America’s pastime however, it is a multi-billion-dollar business. Moneyball turned baseball into an even larger business than it already was, now instead of resembling a children’s game it, looks more like a corporate office. With every player having a million dollar or more price tag on their shirt and most veterans having mega-million contracts, baseball has been converted into an economic game. Moneyball…

Dr. Carol Perkins understood more than anybody else that the reason Madison saw the need to have a bill of rights in the constitution, which most federals didn't find necessary, was because there was nothing that forbid the government from letting its citizens enjoy their liberties and further there was no stipulated framework in which the government was given the mandate to protect its citizens. To him, it was political suicide. The main reason why the Bill of rights was drafted by the founding…

In the movie Trouble with the curve we learned about scouting baseball players using Sabermetrics. Gus didn't think that was a logical way of scouting baseball. In the movie the scouts that worked with Gus were planing on signing Bo Gentry based on what they know from online stats. So Gus went out to North Carolina just to see how good Bo really is. After watching several games evaluating his every move Gus decided Bo was not the right fit for the team. By watching Bo, Gus figured out his…

American citizens, James Madison considered trial by jury, freedom of the press, and liberty of conscience to be the most important and called them the great rights. Some scholars object to using the clause-bound approach to studying the Bill of Rights because...Many scholars have different outlooks on James Madison and the three “great rights”, a clause-bound approach to studying the Bill of Rights, and Thomas Jefferson’s belief that everyone is entitled to a Bill of Rights and how he…

James Madison was very important in the framing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He drafted almost the entire Bill of Rights and helped lay out what was important to the ratification of the Constitution.

Since the Articles of Confederation made the U.S. into sovereign states with a weak central government,…
