Re-creates the forming and adopting of the first 10 amendments, or the Bill of Rights, to the Constitution. Shows the influence of James Madison at this time. Madison, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Randolph, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay make this historic time very real "In dramatizing the purpose and development of the series of constitutional amendments known as the Bill of Rights, the producers claim in their opening title to have taken some dramatist's license, but state that all facts are actual, and that the dialogue is based upon correspondence of the characters portrayed. "The result Is a motion picture whose chief handicap is lack of motion, which makes it less stimulating than it might have been. However, the voices are unusually distinct, the costuming and background natural and authentic, and the continuity clear. This film should be of real value in junior and senior high school history and civics classes, and would be suitable for auditorium showings on programs connected with patriotic occasions."
