1- On June 8, 1789, Representative James Madison introduced a series of thirty-nine amendments to the constitution of the House of Representatives. Among its recommendations Madison proposed the opening of the Constitution and the insertion of specific rights to limit the power of Congress in Article One, Section 9. Seven of these limitations would become part of the ten articles ratified the Bill of Rights of the amendments. Ultimately, on September 25, 1789, Congress approved twelve articles of amendment to the Constitution and presented them to the states for ratification. Contrary to the original proposal of Madison that the articles that can be incorporated into the main body of the Constitution, were proposed as additions "complementary" to it. Articles from three to twelve were ratified by the states.

The Bill of Rights plays a central role in American law and in his government, and continues to be a fundamental symbol of the nation's freedom and culture.
Alexander Palmer justified the Palmer Raids of 1919 and 1920, because he believed there was a serious sense of urgency in raiding and deporting people he perceived were a threat to American ideals and believed it was his duty to protect the United States from Communism. He did not want to be stopped from this project and appointed people to take over when he was unable to lead the raids himself.

It was an initiative to get as many African-Americans to vote as possible in the elections in Mississippi.
