The Bill of Rights The First 10 Amendments to the Constitution California Content Standard 8.2.6 Enumerate the powers of government set forth in the Constitution and the fundamental liberties ensured by the Bill of Rights. Bill of Rights Quilt Project

1st Amendment The 1st Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly, and petition. This means that we all have the right to: practice any religion we want to to speak freely to assemble (meet) to address the government (petition) to publish newspapers, TV, radio, Internet (press)

1st Amendment The 1st Amendment has become more complicated over time due to technological advances like television, radio, the Internet, text messaging, You Tube, etc.

2nd Amendment The 2nd Amendment protects the right to bear arms, which means the right to own a gun.

2nd Amendment The 2nd Amendment has become an issue with many people due to the advancement in the technology of weapons. Semi-automatic and automatic weapons Chemical weapons Protective clothing (Kevlar) What is a reasonable type of weapon for a citizen to own?

3rd Amendment The 3rd Amendment says “No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.” This means that we cannot be forced to house or quarter soldiers.

3rd Amendment Prior to the Revolutionary War, it was a common practice for the British to force colonists to house their soldiers.

4th Amendment The 4th Amendment protects the people from unreasonable searches and seizures. This means that the police must have a warrant to enter our homes. It also means the government cannot take our property, papers, or us, without a valid warrant based on probable cause (good reason).

5th Amendment The 5th Amendment protects people from being held for committing a crime unless they are properly indicted, (accused) You may not be tried twice for the same crime (double jeopardy) You don’t have to testify against yourself in court. (Self-incrimination)

5th Amendment During the Civil War, the Writ of Habeas Corpus was actually denied to many citizens who were sympathetic to the Confederate cause and suspected of crimes against the Union. STOP HERE AFTER DAY 1

6th Amendment The 6th Amendment guarantees a speedy trial (you can’t be kept in jail for over a year without a trial) an impartial jury (doesn’t already think you are guilty) that the accused can confront witnesses against them the accused must be allowed to have a lawyer

6th Amendment The 6th Amendment has faced similar issues to the 5th Amendment. People have been detained or interned, during war, in the United States. Japanese-Americans were put into camps during World War II.

7th Amendment The 7th Amendment guarantees the right to a speedy civil trial. A civil trial differs from a criminal trial. A civil trial is when someone sues someone else. A criminal trial is when the state tries to convict someone of a crime.

8th Amendment The 8th Amendment guarantees that punishments will be fair and not cruel, and that extraordinarily large fines will not be set.

8th Amendment The 8th Amendment has been debated by states for over 200 years. In California, the death penalty has been ruled legal at times, and illegal at other times throughout our history. States use many different forms of execution for serious crimes.

9th Amendment All rights not stated in the Constitution and not forbidden by the Constitution belong to the people. This means that the states can do what they want if the Constitution does not forbid it.

10th Amendment The 10th Amendment states that any power not granted to the federal government belongs to the states or to the people. This means State and Local governments can pass laws to meet particular needs as long as they do not conflict with the Constitution.
