The Bill of Rights - 800 Years in the Making (Lawyer Explains)

Today we get into the fascinating history of our Bill of Rights and why there is more to them than meets the eye. Knowing this history is incredibly important, but you shouldn't need to hire a lawyer to understand it. That's why I'm here to help! I'm Jake the Lawyer, your Internet Esquire. On this channel I'll explain concepts, history, and legal doctrines we've all heard of, but might not totally understand. Thank you for watching! I drop episodes every week. Please enjoy and have a wonderful day.
