I remember being told of an experiment where they presented the Bill of Rights as if it were a petition measure, and tried to see if people would sign on as being in favor of those first ten amendments.

Apparently they met an astounding number of people who, for whatever motives, not only didn't recognize the Bill of Rights, were vehemently against having anything to do with such a petition and any socialist, or communist, or anarchist scum who would try to get it before the voters.

Truly appalling. (I believe it was supposed to have been during the mid-to-late 70s)
