As a result of a partnership between the Reagan Foundation and the Ashbrook Center at Ashland
University, Dr. Gordon Lloyd gave a series of six lectures on The Bill
of Rights. As a renowned expert on the founding of the United States of
America, Dr. Lloyd has compiled an amazing internet based resource on
TeachingAmericanHistory.org. In this lecture, entitled "Bill of Rights:
English and Colonial Origins," Dr. Lloyd traces the origins of each
right in the Bill of Rights to its first appearance in either English or
Colonial documents.
