Which of these statements about the bill of rights is true? a) it is part of the declaration of independence. b) it was added to the constitution after ratification. c) it was added to the constitution before ratification. d) it was part of the original draft of the constitution.

The correct answer is B. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution after ratification.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights consists of the first ten additional amendments to the Constitution of United States. In the framework of a free and democratic society - based on the values of the Enlightenment - these assure the inhabitants of certain inalienable fundamental rights. The Bill of Rights was approved by the United States Congress on September 25, 1789, a year and three months after the ratification of the Constitution, and ratified by 11 states. This process was completed on December 15, 1791.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
