Bill of Rights Day celebrates the ratification of the first ten amendments protecting individual liberties to the US Constitution on December 15, 1791. During the 150th anniversary commemorations in 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed December 15th as Bill of Rights Day—a week after the United States entered World War II—to honor the nations who supported freedom, and denounce countries such as Nazi Germany for its destruction of those very rights.
