Dear Patriots,

       Katina from Galveston, IN is this week's history challenge winner (a two time winner)!  Congratulations Katina, we will ship you the book  "America is God's Country" by Elmer S. Corby as this weeks prize.    Under the leadership of James Madison the Virginia Plan was purposed, which laid the foundations for the three separate braches of government. I also, accepted Edmund Randolph  who officially put it before the convention, in the form of 15 resolutions, William Patterson for the New Jersey Plan and Roger Sherman for the Connecticut Compromise. This model of government came from the perfect Governor, as read in the Bible in the book of Isaiah - 33:22 "For the Lord is our judge, and the Lord is our Law giver, and the Lord is our King; He will save us."  Click here for the resource information!

Sincerely,

Chris Petersonn

Weekly History Challenge

This week's prize is the fine art print "Bill of Rights"

 

On September 25th, 1789 the congress passed the "Bill of Rights", and sent them to the states for ratification. This was due largely by the efforts of this founding father who is often called the "Father of the Bill of Rights". He was a Virginia delegate to the Constitutional Convention, but refused to sign the Constitution at that time, because he believed it did not sufficiently limit the government's power from infringing on the rights of citizens, and disliked the idea of a strong federal government as he feared it would usurp the sovereignty of the individual states. He practically wrote the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, and is also the author of the Virginia Constitution and the Virginia Bill of Rights. Name this founding father.
