The pro-Washington (nationalist) First Constitutional Congress (elected in accordance with Article I, Section 3 [Clause 1]) proposes 12 Articles of Amendment to the Constitution for the united States.

       Postscripts:

• Ten of these Articles of Amendment came to be ratified two years later, and have come to be commonly referred to as the “Bill of Rights.”
• An eleventh Article of Amendment, delaying pay increases for Congress until after the next election, was ratified in 1992.
• The remaining Article of Amendment yet to be ratified would expand the membership of the house of representatives from 435 members to over five-thousand (fixing the ratio between constituents and representatives at 50,000:1).  When ratified this will make it much more difficult for special interests to acquire unwarranted influence in the house; and it will make redrawing Congressional districts to benefit majority parties much more difficult.

       NOTE: Unfortunately, one of those propositions never made it to the States: “[N]o State shall violate the equal right of conscience, the freedom of the press, or the Trial by Jury in criminal cases.”
