It was adopted by the Virginia Delegates Convention as part of the Virginia Constitution in the context of the American Revolution of 1776, when the 13 British colonies in America gained their independence. Through the Virginia Declaration of Rights, the other colonies were encouraged to become independent from Great Britain.

It is a document that proclaims that all men are by nature free and independent and have a number of inherent rights of which they cannot be deprived. It was the direct forerunner of the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen made by the French Revolution and the United States Bill of Rights, which took effect in 1791 as ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

The initial draft of the document was made by George Mason between May 20 and 26, 1776, and was later amended by Thomas Ludwell Lee and the Virginia Convention itself. Mason was inspired by the English Bill of Rights of 1689, but unlike the Bill of Rights, he rejected the notion of privileged classes or hereditary governmental functions, as was (and still is) the case in the British monarchy.

The Virginia Bill of Rights consists of sixteen articles that list the rights belonging to the people of Virginia ... as the basis and foundation of government: to life, liberty, property ownership, due process, freedom of the press and religion, and so on. It also provides for popular sovereignty, prohibition of birth privileges (equality before the law), division of powers, trial by jury, etc. Some scholars highlight the fact that the Declaration of Virginia coexisted with slavery and the lack of rights for women.

explanation:

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
