Message: <blockquote data-quote="pak-40" data-source="post: 2419265" data-attributes="member: 5756">Hamilton was against the bill of rights.  He was obvously right in some aspects as we can all see where we are today in regards to the 2a.  "I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colourable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? "   --Alexander Hamilton</blockquote>
