Answer:

The first Congress of the United States approves 12 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and sends them to the states for ratification. The amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, were designed to protect the basic rights of U.S. citizens, guaranteeing the freedom of speech, press, assembly, and exercise of religion; the right to fair legal procedure and to bear arms; and that powers not delegated to the federal government were reserved for the states and the people.

Influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689, the Bill of Rights was also drawn from Virginia’s Declaration of Rights, drafted by George Mason in 1776. Mason, a native Virginian, was a lifelong champion of individual liberties, and in 1787 he attended the Constitutional Convention and criticized the final document for lacking constitutional protection of basic political rights. In the ratification process that followed, Mason and other critics agreed to approve the Constitution in exchange for the assurance that amendments would immediately be adopted.

ivolga24 [154]

Renewal provision describes the insured's right to cancel coverage.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Policy provisions are clauses included in insurance contract that sketches the exact conditions for what amounts along with stipulated restrictions and exclusions or for which coverage the insurance is provided.

An agreement in individual health policy that talks about the conditions based on which the insurer will not renew coverage but can increase the premium amount or cancel the coverage.
