Origins of the Bill of Rights

This look at various rights is by the great constitutional writer Leonard Levy. Not comprehensive or overly novel; still useful, including for diversity purposes (it also supports an individual right to RKBA, this some years before Heller). One theme is the haphazard creation of the bills of rights at the time, including saying things that are based on created history, "originalism" not just starting in Reagan's day. Could have used a bit of editing.
