Introduction

My name is Jeff Pemberton and I chose the event that occurred in 1789; the ratification of the Bill of Rights. This event caught my eye because these first ten amendments became the foundation of American government and law. These rights gave and protected people's freedoms that we still cherish to this day in time.
