In this episode of Historical: Lest We Forget, host Lillian Cauldwell continues her exploration of the U.S. Constitution by turning to the creation of the Bill of Rights. She examines why James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton believed it was crucial to explicitly protect individual freedoms — not only to prevent the Constitution from failing, but to reassure citizens who had fled authoritarian regimes that their rights would be preserved.Though the framers debated whether such amendments were necessary, Madison’s argument ultimately carried the day. The Bill of Rights was added as a clear safeguard — a written promise that liberty would not be left to interpretation or shifting government powers.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lest-we-forget-historical--5783063/support.🎙 Passionate World Talk Radio Network LLCWhere real conversations matter. 📧 Contact us: [email protected]🌐 Visit: www.passionateworldtalkradio.com📲 Follow & share with #PWTRN 💡 Support our station: [Insert donation or Ko-fi link here]👍 Subscribe, share, and leave a review to help us grow!
