AMENDMENT ONE You have freedom of religion which means you are free to exercise and practice any religion that you choose. You can go to any church, and pray anyway that you want without someone telling you cant.

AMENDMENT FIVE Nobody can be put on trial for a very serious crime, unless a group of people called a grand jury first decide that there is enough evidence to make a trial necessary. However, people in the military can be put on trial without an indictment or a grand jury, if they commit a crime during war or a national emergency. If someone is put on trial for a crime and the trial ends, they may not be tried again for the same crime. If they are convicted and serve their time, or if they are acquitted, they may not be put on trial again. The government can not make someone testify against themself. So a trial relies on witnesses and evidence rather than the testimony of the accused. Due Process is the procedure which makes sure that everyone gets treated the same. No matter who someone is they should be treated fairly by the police, the courts, and the government. The government can not take away someone's property without paying them for it in some way. If the state wanted to build a road right through someone's yard they can't just do it, they have to pay the person for it, or compensate them in some way

AMENDMENT FOURTEEN All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the state where they reside. No state can make or enforce any law which will take away a persons unalienable rights, and they must be treated equally.
