The Second Bill of Rights was a proposal made by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the State of the Union Address of 1944.[1] The Second Bill of Rights is sometimes referred to an Economic Bill of Rights.[2]
Background
According to the Heritage Foundation,[3] the Second Bill of Rights represents "a broad vision of the role of government in making lives more secure through expanded government programs". Each proposal is tailored to appeal to different segments of the nation in different ways and produce different beneficiaries, but the actual beneficiary is Big Government.
