I believe the order in which the Bill of Rights was written may be divinely expired.

I hate to break this to you, but what we know today as the "First Amendment" was not actually the first amendment proposed to the U.S. Constitution. It was the actually the third proposed amendment. The first two proposed amendments were never ratified, hence the third proposed amendment became "Amendment I."

So, I dunno, you may wish to rethink your basic thesis.

yeah, I got that: no congressional raises until after the next election (ratified later), and the other that slips my mind right now.

So how about we say, the of the first 10 that were passed...

Thus, my basis thesis has not changed.
