Bill of Rights socialism is an ideology based on the interpretation that the United States Bill of Rights advocated for a socialist society or that if need be, a new United States Bill of Rights that explicitly advocated for it should be made. The concept was first coined by Gus Hall, General Secretary of Communist Party USA.[1] Communist Party USA has advocated for amending the United States Constitution to include the right to join a union, the right to a fair-paying job and others.[2]
In 2012, the concept was revived by the Democratic Socialists of America, who proposed the following public policies in order to according to them "achieve basic human social and economic rights" whose implementation would "help to achieve freedom and dignity for all Americans":[3]
