"I will now tell you what I do not
like. First, the omission of a bill of rights, providing clearly, and
without the aid of sophism, for freedom of religion, freedom of the
press, protection against standing armies, restriction of monopolies,
the eternal and unremitting force of the habeas corpus laws, and trials
by jury in all matters of fact triable by the laws of the land, and not
by the laws of nations. ... Let me add that a bill of rights is what the
people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or
particular; and what no just government should refuse, or rest on
inference."
-- Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
Source: December 20th, 1787, Jefferson letter to James Madison about his concerns regarding the Constitution.
