How much do you really know about the Bill of Rights? Do you know why it was created? This week we're exploring what amendments we can find being violated long before they were ever written down. We’re also exploring the origin story of Massachusetts Bay colony royal governor, Francis Bernard. Obviously, Samuel Adams and the Sugar Act are a part of this....also a lot of debt (Not Britain's or Samuel's this time)

Key Players:

Loyalists:
Thomas Hutchinson - Colonial born Lt Governor of Massachusetts Bay
Francis Bernard - British born Royal Governor of Massachusetts Bay
George Grenville - King George III's right hand man, prime minister of Britain

Patriots:
Samuel Adams - Rabble rouser, has personal beef with Hutchinson, neighbor of Bernard, hates them both
James Otis Jr - Mega beef with Hutchinson because of Bernard, also hates them both, besties with Samuel
