The Bill of Rights By: James Madison Modifications by: Flocabulary

Amendment 1 Congress can't make any law about your religion, or stop you from practicing your religion, or keep you from saying what you want, or publishing what you want (like in a newspaper or a book). And Congress can't stop you from meeting peacefully for a demonstration to ask the government to change something. Number One Freedom of religion, speech, and press, plus you can assemble in crowds and protest.

Amendment 2 Congress can't stop people from having and carrying weapons, because we need to be able to defend ourselves. Number Two Right to bear arms and cannons, I bet the Minutemen didn't know about handguns.

Amendment 3 You don't have to let soldiers live in your house, except if there is a war, and even then only if Congress has passed a law about it. Number Three When soldiers gets sleepy, you don't have to let them sleep up on your couch.

Amendment 4 Nobody can search your body, or your house, or your papers and things, unless they can prove to a judge that they have a good reason to think you have committed a crime. Number Four No one can search and seize. It protects me, unless people have a warrant to arrest me.

Amendment 5 You can't be tried for any serious crime without a Grand Jury meeting first to decide whether there's enough evidence for a trial. And if the jury decides you are innocent, the government can't try again with another jury. You can't be killed, or put in jail, or fined, unless you were convicted of a crime by a jury. And the government can't take your house or your farm or anything that is yours, unless the government pays for it. Number Five If you arrest me, respect me. Sorry Alex, there's no Double Jeopardy. What’d you do after school? "I plead the fifth."

Amendment 6 If you're arrested, you have a right to have your trial pretty soon, and the government can't keep you in jail without trying you. Number Six You must process me speedily.

Amendment 7 You also have the right to a jury when it is a civil case (a law case between two people rather than between you and the government). Number Seven In front of my peers on the jury.

Amendment 8 The government can't make you pay more than is reasonable in bail or in fines, and the government can't order you to have cruel or unusual punishments (like torture) even if you are convicted of a crime. Number Eight You can't use cruel or unusual punishment.

Amendment 9 Just because these rights are listed in the Constitution doesn't mean that you don't have other rights too. Number Nine The people get more than these rights.

Amendment 10 Anything that the Constitution doesn't say that Congress can do should be left up to the states, or to the people Number Ten States can make other laws, and they just might.
