Interesting concept, but lacking
interesting flash
I'd just like to point out a few things, starting off with the opening phrase:
"At the countrys founding a grand document was written. Describing benefits and rights to citizens... for the most part anyways.
This document is known as the 'Bill of Rights' "
The document created at the countries founding, was the United States Constitution. The Bill of Rights are simply the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, and they were amended over 2 decades after the Constitution was ratified. Its a complete bastardization of history.
Futhermore, the Constitution talks about peoples rights, not citizens. I'm not a citizen of the US, but i have nearly every right and responsibility that you have when i visit.
The right to bear arms is under judgment by the supreme courts. They are still deciding, but they are siding with the fact that you have a right, only so that you can form a militia and create a revolution if needed.
The actual wording of the 2nd amendment is
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Its not just "the right to bear arms", as so many people love condensing it down to.
The results of the judges decision will determine the legality and constitutionality of a handgun ban in i think DC.
2. The right to fair process is not granted to the citizen, its granted to EVERYONE, regardless of if they are a citizen or not.
I covered this already, but i'd just point it out again. The constitution goes to length to state that PEOPLE have the right to fair process, it does nothing so limiting as to only cover citizens. If they did, visitors to the USA could be imprisoned without charges indefenitly, as they'd have no legally recognized rights (As was the case in old England which created a system of due process, for this very reason, and the founding fathers quickly recognized they needed the same system as well).
The game show i found to be a major annoyance. I was watching for the history of rights, not for some silliness.
Finally, your last remark has me squirming, you said that "a perfect bill of rights means nothing" if the population can't get their act together, or something along those lines. Thats the jist of it.
I can't understand that.
Its because the population is imperfect that we have and need a bill of rights. To discard it out of hand because of an imperfect system, is to discard and undervalue all the wonderful things it has enshrined.
Final remark i'll made, is a summery
The flash's concept itself was very good. With a bit more polish on the sound, grahpics, and better depth to what the bill of rights grants
I understand that you probably didn't mean to make a serious flash, let alone get such a serious review, but i think human rights should be taken more seriously then most people bother.
