- Lot Description
Ed Vebell (American, 1921 - 2018) "Bill of Rights" Signed lower right. Original oil painting on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985.
When the United States Constitution was drawn up no list of rights was included, primarily because legislators felt it was unnecesaary to guarantee rights that were commonly accepted. However, when the Constitution was sent to the states for ratification, the American people did not share that opinion. Soon an outcry went up demanding a bill of rights to protect America's freedoms. The Anti-Federalists, a group opposed to ratification of the Constitution altogether, championed the Bill of Rights cause, correctly sensing that it would impede the adoption of the Constitution. Meanwhile, the Federalists, those men who supported the Constitution, pushed harder for ratification, fearing that the Bill of Rights issue would cost them ground. Eventually the Federalists won out and the Constitution was adopted. However, because he knew a Bill of Rights was the will of the people, James Madision introduced the subject to the House in 1789. By September of that year, a conference committee had worked out twelve amendments which were passed by the legislature and sent to the President and states for ratification. Two of the twelve were rejected, but on December 15, 1791, the other ten became America's much sought-after Bill of Rights, the guarantee of the people's freedoms in force yet today.
