Presentation transcript:

Topic: The Constitution Aim: How does the Bill of Rights protect our personal liberties? Do now: Identify the personal freedoms protected under the First Amendment. Homework: Select an amendment and create a situation in which a person’s rights would be violated.

Directions: You will review different situations. You must decide which amendment is violated. You must support your answer.

A new law is passed by Congress and the President that says guns will no longer be available for sale in America. All firearms are to be destroyed and all gun manufacturers must stop producing guns of any sort. Any citizen that currently owns a gun must turn it over to the government for complete and utter destruction. Is this constitutional?

Students at DSLA cannot get enough books to read at the Detroit library because the demand for books is so great. Rioting and fighting over books has become such a problem that the U.S. armed forces sent out the National Guard to keep the peace. The soldiers in the National Guard need a place to stay. Do you have to let them in?

Jose Reyes was accused of stealing Derek Jeter’s baseball mitt (he thought it would help him improve his game). The judge was a Yankees fan, and sentenced Jose to 100 years in prison. Can the judge sentence Jose to such a long sentence?

I’ve been accused of stealing a history textbook from the classroom (along with a couple thousand dollars from the school safe) and have been put in jail. I’ve been waiting for my trial for 10 years now and when I am finally given a trial it is a private trial, behind closed doors, with a jury history teachers. The trial is to take place in Florida (though the book I was accused of stealing was in Detroit, MI). Furthermore, I have no lawyer, and the judge won’t allow me to contact one. What rights are violated?

I am accused of cheating on Mrs. Delcourt’s science test and I’m taken to court. Do I have to answer all the questions the judge or lawyers ask me even if I think the answer I give might hurt my case? What if I really did cheat? Do I have to say that I did?
