states, if not delegated to the federal government. enumerateke sense to -- rightsrast, the goal of was in the british constitution. the liberties of the subject were carved out from the crown and parliament. the united states constitution does not grant rights to the people. the people grant power to the government. way.on put it this charters of liberty have been granted by power. america has set the example and france has followed this example of charters of power granted by liberty. the danger emanating from a bill mighthts was that some assume that writes that are not listed are not possessed. a number of federalists agreed with madison and his assessment of the hazards of the goal of rights, especially with a danger of calling a second convention. all of the antifederalists and some of the federalists favored the itemization of rights. side -- sign -- there were two who refused to sign and the bill of rights was key. i have wondered, when that convention finished the business and franklin gave his rising sun speech and everybody adjourned to the city tavern, where did eldridge gerry and george moesch and go? -- george mason go? rather, what was most dj, he believed was a political architecture

1791, virginia became the 11th of 14 states to ratify the first-hand amendments to the united states constitution. the bill of rights and became law. amending america is a national archives exhibit marking the anniversary by exploring the amendingnd process of the constitution. this tour of the exhibit is about 45 minutes. nifer: my name is jennifer johnson i am a code -- curator. christine: i am in education and public outreach specialist at the national archives great am also co-curator. >> we are about to take you through "amending america." i next to me is a case showing the more than 11,000 amendments proposed to the constitution. christine and i have been working on this exhibit for a couple years now. the research started almost four years ago. we could not help but notice that the variety and depth of amendments -- there have been more than 11,000 proposed to the constitution. we started asking ourselves why there have been so many, yet so few actually ratified. the exhibit begins to explore that idea and how the founding fathers set of our government and allowed us to amend when needed.

how are we going to get women in the united states constitution as equal citizens? track? you tell that to kids in high school and college, and they don't know that. our basic rights as citizens, half the population are still not equal citizens after all this happened. so you wonder why hillary has, amongst everything else -- and were lking if my mother here and your mother were here, there would be that discussion. >> we have seen the enemy, and the enemy is within. were here and your mother were here, there would be thatthat's what n getting to, getting past the discussion of them and us, and talking about all of us, and the voter is our neighbor. so how is that that we all live in this society and have seen such drastically different things? women running for office, just to sort of bring it up in a women havel sense, to be asked several times to run for office. men aren't asked. they asked themselves. these three women we are talking about here were unusual in that way. put themselvest out there. it's not just in politics, it's also in corporate america or whatever, th

united states. the united states constitution doesn't give anyone in this world the right to come to the united states. that's a privilege that we extend to you. so we have a right to condition that privilege on things that adhere to our safety rather than to create dangerous situations for the world. so if you can't get the information, person doesn't come in. extreme vetting means, you search the documents, sure they're safe, you let them in. if you can't find a record of safety, you don't. >> just go to mexico. why don't they just find their way through south america? >> well, unfortunately some of them do. and that's the reason why the wall has to be built and the extr protection has to be put there, including the electronics surveillance -- the wall by itself is going to need electronic surveillance below ground and aboveground. more border patrol. that's the reason we have to do these things. everything donald trump ran on is actually happening. nato has to increase it's emphasis on terrorism. it's got to modernize and increase emphasis on terrorism. and we should build a safe zone in syria and

it ended did at a moment when the united states quickly passed the united states constitution, the 13th amendment ending slavery, expanding citizenship and expanding the right to vote to black men. every one of those with the revolution, three passed in quick succession. put that in perspective, the united states only pass two amendments ever since the bill of rights up to that point. it was clearly a rich moment. i want to know how you get from that moment to 1896, plessy versus ferguson, jim crow and lynching. that was the book, that was the question i set out to answer when i began the second book. what i have is this book, "troubled refuge: struggling for freedom in the civil war". when i set out to write this book about citizenship and rights in the decades following emancipation, timing had everything to do with it because it was 2009, the 200th anniversary of abraham lincoln's birth and it immediately followed in 2011-2015 with the sesquicentennial of the civil war. thanks to those things i received a lot of invitations to give talks usually about emancipation and citizenship. it
