James Madison said the Constitution was "the work of many heads and many hands." The same is true of the First Amendment. This lesson will introduce students to the views and contributions of three Founders: Thomas Jefferson, whose writings form the backbone of many Founding documents; George Mason, who was one of only three delegates to the Constitutional Convention who refused to sign the document; and James Madison, who guided the Bill of Rights through Congress. Finally, students will apply the freedoms protected by the First Amendment to their own lives.
