Founding Fathers

By Doug K, Kaitlin G, Jack K, and

Trevor Riel



Overview



The Quote Page

� ³The enumeration in the Constitution, of

certain rights, shall not be construed to

deny or disparage others retained by thepeople.´ 9th amendment, Bill of Rights

� Look at article 1 section 2



So What

� Because all general statements in the

constitution can¶t be interpreted negatively

and most statements are general in theconstitution so all races and classes are

included in it.

� If you are not satisfied with the rights that

you have then you are entitled to make

new ones.



A Quote from the Declaration of Independence.

� ³Such has been the patient sufferance of these

Colonies; and such is now the necessity which

constrains them to alter their former Systems of

Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and

usurpations, all having in direct object the

establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these

States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to acandid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws,

the most wholesome and necessary for the public

good.´



What Does This Prove?

� This quote was not only a cry out against injustice, but

an explanation for why the colonies were in such a poor

state. King George was preventing them from making

any headway by refusing to accept laws made in theinterest of the people. Clearly, the founding father¶s

focus was on the public¶s well being especially since the

last sentence was the very first in a long string of claims

against King George, in relation to his incapable ability to

rule over them, further suggesting that this was of the

utmost importance.
