This video is accompanied by text. "Several of the states were hesitant to ratify the Constitution. New York in particular feared that ratification of the Constitution as it was written would transfer many civil liberties away from the people to a la...rge, authoritarian government. Promises made by the Federalists that a Bill of Rights would be the first priority of the new Congress paved the way for ratification. The new Congress, guided by James Madison, was determined to follow through on that promise. Madison realized that a Bill of Rights was potentially dangerous if written incorrectly. He also understood that amendments to the Constitution could only be passed either by a new Constitutional Convention or by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress..."

This video is accompanied by text. "The Bill of Rights guarantees basic human and political rights to Americans. As an addendum to the United States Constitution, the document has evolved in scope through judicial interpretation.
Many states had a ...Bill of Rights in their own constitution and insisted that the protections be added to the federal document.

This is an excellent video that goes through each of the amendments in rapid fashion. This would be an excellent introduction to the Bill of Rights, but lacks the depth needed for most civics classes.

This 2:21 video links the Dred Scott decision with the current (2010) Republicans move to change the 14th Amendment to allow birthright for citizenship to those born in the United States. It explains why the 14th amendment was written and would be an... excellent video to show for purposes of debate and to show that history isn't always about the past.

(NOTE: May not be suitable for younger viewers as one of the images in the video is an electric chair.) Written over 200 years ago, the Bill of Rights is considered the cornerstone of our nation's civil liberties and freedom. Many of our Founding Fat...hers, however, did not wish to include these rights in the Constitution. This program details the struggle between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists to ratify the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You will learn how Virginia's Declaration of Rights, authored by George Mason, became the basis for the first ten amendments, as well as how James Madison pushed the Bill of Rights through Congress. (02:00).

This is slow-starting video that gives a lot of opinion before getting into the 9th Amendment's meaning - this happens around the three-minute mark. This could also be used as a study in propaganda. (05:18)
