The Bill of Rights Day is not a
traditional gift giving holiday. At least part of this day (even a few
minutes) should be spent remembering our freedoms. We sometimes take
for granted the basic rights we have such as freedom or religion or
freedom of speech. Many people have died to give us these freedoms,
and many more have died either protecting them, or allowing others to have
these same freedoms. The gifts we suggest giving on or around this
holiday are listed below.
Bill of Rights Gift Giving Ideas:
-
Books on the Bill of Rights,
Freedom, Founding Fathers, or Revolutionary War
-
Movies about the founding
fathers and the birth of our nation or movies about different groups
of Americans receiving rights under Amendments to the Bill of Rights
(Abolition of Slavery, Woman's Right to vote, etc.)
-
Travel to Washington to see a
real copy of the Bill of Rights
