The opposition complaints delineate the precise reasons why this measure *should* pass. Every complaint outlines a basis for prejudicing against English when they achieve power. The USA's "10 amendments" were similarly decried back in 1788 as being pointless because those rights were already understood by everyone. But they became bulwarks against subsequent attempts to infringe against those rights, just as English will be infringed here without established legal protection.
