The Third Continental Congress’ findings regarding the last ten words, or the Accountability Clause of the First Amendment, from the Articles of Freedom:
Wherefore, We the People now find the three branches of government to be in violation of the Accountability Clause of the First Amendment of the Constitution; the public officials to be guilty of dereliction of duty in violation of their Oath of Office; and their actions, as listed in the aforementioned Petitions for Redress, to be outside the boundaries drawn around their power and, therefore, unconstitutional.
It is a known fact that the ratification of the Constitution by several states hinged upon the secure passage of a “Bill of Rights” to protect the states from the newly created federal government. The states feared the power of a central government–after all, they had just emerged from a war with one. Thus the first ten amendments to the Constitution for the United States can be considered the States’ mechanism for enforcement of the Constitution.
