Thank G-d our founding fathers recognized the dangers of the "tyranny of the majority" and passed the Bill of Rights to protect us. Regardless of what some may say it would be a different and poorer nation had we not the Bill Of Rights.

There were some who opposed it, arguing that there would be those of over-authoritarian zeal who would abuse it by arguing that anything not specifically spelled out as a limit on the power of the federal government was an implicit grant of power. They added the Tenth Amendment, believing that it was plain enough to be understood by all, and would eliminate any attemt to misconstrue the other nine. Apparently they were a little over-optimistic.

Yep. They don't call it "The Forgotten Tenth" for nothing. :-(
