3.5 x 3.5", 18 pages, accordion structure. On one side are the ten original amendments to the US Constitution adopted in 1791 – the Bill of Rights -- on the reverse, eight flags used during the Revolutionary period. In red, white, and blue paper covered boards, with red, white, and blue ribbon streamers. Signed & numbered by the artist. A reminder of the intent of the Bill of Rights: to protect individual citizens from the potential abuse by an omnipotent and unresponsive central government. Food for thought in these times. Have circumstances rendered the Bill of Rights moot? Or more important than ever? |
