A History of the Bill of Rights. [A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse..he Constitution was remarkable, but deeply flawed. For one thing, it did not include a specific declaration-or bill-of individual rights. It specified what the government could do but did not say what it could not do.
The amount of sleep each person needs depends on many factors, including age. Infants generally require about 16 hours a day, while teenagers need about 9 hours on average. For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night appears to be the best amount of sleep. Women in the first 3 months of pregnancy often need several more hours of sleep than usual.
REM sleep occurs at intervals of one to two hours, and is variable in length. REM sleep is characterized by irregular breathing and heart rate, and involuntary muscle jerks. Most adults need around eight hours of sleep on a regular schedule to function well, although some require less, and others more. (It has been said that men need an hour less sleep than women.) Children, particularly teenagers, often need nine or ten hours for optimal functioning.
