I would probably try googling that or going to ask.com. (not to steer you away from this website!)\nAlso, I am an avid user of the library for everything like that. A library's reference section would probably have lots of info.\nOr, look into Thomas Jefferson information.. he played a big part in Virginia history and anywhere you see his name you'll probably find links to other historical facts about Virginia.

Sorry to disagree with matt above me here but the Constitution does not "give" us anything. The founding fathers believed that all men are born with certain unalienable rights, but if you are born or  become a U.S.A. citizen then these rights cannot be taken away from you without due process. Now to the question at hand. Yes we now live in a time were the GOP are taking away rights without due process Example: Patriot Act, Freedom of Information Act...  What can we do? I don't have that answer, if I did I would run for office myself.

I agree with Pandak, all except for one thing.  Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were the  inalienable rights described to us in the Declaration of Independence by our forefathers.  John Locke (not the character from "Lost", the theorist) theroized that we have only three natural rightas (inalienable rights).  The right to Life, Liberty, and Property.  The Pursuit of Happiness was not one of the three.  \n\nBut on all other counts, I agree with all of his other points.

Has :\n1.Preamble\n2.Natural Rights\n3.List of Grievances\n4.Resolution of Independence\n5.Signer of the Declaration\n\nMeaning :\nWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are are life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.\nThat to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,\nThat whenever any Form of Government becomes destructiveof these new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dicate that Governments long established should not be change for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Oject evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, its is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Jefferson was the author of the Declaration (1776), Governor of Virginia (1779-81), US Secretary of State (1789-1795), Vice President (1797-1801) and President (1801-1809).\nHe was a strong beleiver in individualism and individual autonomy, free markets, and limited government.   \n\nJohn Locke is consider the origin of the phrase "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as a fundamental ("unalienable") right of humanity.  Locke wrote of the rights ot "life, liberty and estate (or property)."  Jefferson thought the right to "estate" was too closely tied to the concept of "feudalism."  The idea of phrasing it "life, liberty and the pursuit of wealth" was considered, but eventually the current phraseology won out.  In any event, the idea that life and liberty were fundamental rights had previously been expressed by Locke and others.\n\nYour question is really too broad to be covered in a brief answer here.  I suggest looking up James Madison, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights on Wikipedia or some other encyclopedic site.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/

FDR??  I suspect that is going to be tough. This will get you some of what you want, http://thomas.loc.gov/home/r109query.html but you may need to go to a federal depositary libary to get what you want. http://www.gpoaccess.gov/libraries.html

Not real sure what you want?\n\nTry looking at The United States Bill Of Rights.\n\nFree - speech, religion, right to trial, right of privacy, right to own property, etc.

See US Constitution:  Bill of Rights.\n\nAs written, not as perverted by activist justices.
