The United States Bill of Rights came into being as a result of a promise made by the Fathers of Confederation to the states during the struggle for ratification of the Constitution in 1787-88. A great number of the states made as a condition for their ratification, the addition of amendments, which would guarantee citizens protection of their rights against the central government. Thus, we have a rather interesting situation in which the entrenchment of a bill of rights in the American Constitution was done by the virtual demand of the states, they themselves fearing a central government which was not legally constrained and restricted as far as its powers were concerned.
The Bill of Rights—which is listed in the U.S. Constitution as the first ten amendments—did not exist prior to the Revolution. The Federalists (those who crafted and created the U.S. Constitution) created the Bill of Rights to accommodate the wants of the Democratic-Republicans, who feared that the new strong central government in America would impose upon the rights of all Americans to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, a phrase found in the Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson. This gave many Americans numerous rights, besides the right to “life, liberty, and property” (the Constitution substituted “pursuit of happiness” with “property”, which will be discussed later): freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, the right to petition, and many more freedoms that Americans didn’t have before the Revolution, or even with the government prior to the Constitution—the Articles of Confederation. The creation of a Bill of Rights was a major turning point in American history because it’s still used even to this day, and is a part of everyday life in America. Without the Bill of Rights, first of all, people in America would’ve eventually rebelled against the nation, possibly in another civil war.
On September 28, 1787, after three days of bitter debate, the Confederation Congress sent the Constitution to the states with neither an endorsement nor a condemnation. This action, a compromise engineered by Federalist members, disposed of the argument that the convention had exceeded its mandate; in the tacit opinion of Congress, the Constitution was validly before the people. The state legislatures' decisions to hold ratifying conventions confirmed the Constitution's legitimacy.
In September of 1787, many of the delegates from the states for the Constitutional Convention had approved the papers and documents that were being decided on. But, the Constitution still had to be reviewed by the people of the nation. On the 28th of that month, Congress decided to turn the ratification decision over to the states, instating that each state would hold its own convention, and ruling through Article VII, nine states had to vote yes for the ratification to take effect. Though only nine had to ratify, other states
To further strengthen the rights of the people, The Bill of Rights was ratified on December 15, 1791. With only the first ten amendments, it is no accident that two amendments, 9 and 10, specifically define the Constitutions purpose to protect rights, given to the government from the people; and the powers of the government are “only those delegated to it by the Constitution on behalf of the people” (Spalding, Page 145).

“The Revenue Act of 1764 did not bring in enough money to help pay the cost of defending the colonies. The British looked for additional sources of taxation. Prime Minister Grenville supported the imposition of a stamp tax. Colonial representatives tried to convince Grenville that the tax was a bad idea. Grenville insisted in having the new taxes imposed and presented to the parliament. The parliament approved the tax in February 1765. The colonies responded with outrage. It was considered a “shocking act”.(2)

安寧緩和療護的道德研究與探討 中華民國一○一年六月 壹、摘要 本論文的寫作目的,主要是要探討安寧緩和療護的存在所引起道德方面上的爭議。雖然安寧病房之所以會存在,是不想讓那些得了絕症或治療過程極其痛苦的病患繼續受苦,因而放棄治療,讓他們能夠儘可能安詳的走完最後一程;但是從另一個觀點來看,安寧照護也可以被視為消極的間接殺人;若病人無法接受臨終事實,但醫護人員及家屬共同決定不告知臨終事實,依社會工作「案主自決」原則,顯有違專業倫理;當病患意願與醫療理性相左時,如何進行溝通等諸如此類議題,正相繼衝擊安寧緩和醫療團隊、臨終為不可逆事件,即使病人不願或不肯接受實情,但知的權利仍不應輕言剝奪;醫護人員及家屬應如何協商,讓病患有機會參與重大決策,不致覺得只能自己孤獨面對死亡?這些情形非常值得我們探討。 貳、何謂安寧緩和療護 根據世界衛生組織(WHO)的規範,安寧緩和醫療照顧提供罹患無法治癒疾病的病人,積極性的全方位照顧。緩和醫療照顧是肯定生命,視死亡為自然的過程,不提早也不延後死亡,積極提供疼痛及其他窘迫症狀的緩解,提供支持系統,幫助病人盡可能提升生命品質,幫助家人度過病人生病與其身後期間所遭遇的種種壓力。 叄、安寧療護的目的 安寧療護服務的目的是為生命走到末期病患及家屬提供專業團隊服務,經由完整的身、心、靈之關懷與醫療,減輕末期病患的身體疼痛、不適應症及心理壓力,對病患及家屬提供心靈扶持,輔導其接受臨終事實,陪伴病患安詳走完人生最後一程,協助家屬面對病患死亡,達到生死兩相安的境界 。
