Recounts the demand for a bill of rights, voiced by Jefferson and Madison, and Madison's struggle against an unwilling Congress to attach such amendments to the new U.S. Constitution. Through the eyes of these founders, the film introduces high school students to some Bill of Rights issues that confront the nation today: religion in the classroom, the death penalty, civil rights. How would the founders have viewed these issues? And how well has the Constitution adapted to contemporary American society?
