JPFO's material on the Bill of Rights is considerable and in recent times been added to. In order to try and facilitate visitors being able to find most relevant material it seems logical to try and provide a starting point, with links to the various and numerous pages JPFO has. Below is a list of the main items to be reviewed, from which some will link even further. The page will probably grow as we enter further useful items.
The JPFO site is over 13 years old and some material still exists in old style pages. It is hoped to gradually update to the current format, except for the very oldest - you may well come across some early material and find links that are obsolete.
