The Spirit that Moved in the Chambers of 6/8/1789

 ...and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3:17
 
"On June 8, 1789, James Madison addressed the House of
Representatives and introduced a proposed Bill of Rights to the Constitution. More than three months later, Congress would finally agree on a final list of Rights to present to the states.
 
 I think we should obtain the confidence of our fellow citizens, in proportion as we fortify the rights of the people against the encroachments of the government, Madison said in his address to Congress in June 1789."
