I don't think a list of summaries of bills of rights is the right idea of what should live on this page. The proper description of the contents of this page, at present, is "brief summary descriptions of things called 'bill of rights'," which isn't much of a subject for an encyclopedia article. | |||
What we should do, instead, is move the various summaries to their own articles (they'll be stubs), and then make the present page, [[bill of rights]], about the ''political concept'' of a bill of rights.
