Objectives SWBAT explain how the first 10 Amendments (Bill of Rights) protected the people and the states from the national government SWBAT compare America’s government to other types of government SWBAT to explain the principles of the Constitution

The American form of Government: Democracy: Government where the people have political authority to make laws and elect the government. Republicanism: Government where the people elect leaders to represent them and make laws. Federalism: A strong central gov’t which shares power with states. So America is a: Democratic Federalist Republic (D F R)! This means political power comes from the will of the people.

Super Separation of Powers Power is separated into 3 branches Fry FederalismFederal gov’t shares power w/the states Juice Judicial ReviewThe courts have the power to review acts of the other 2 branches

Bill of Rights Amendment What it protects! 1Freedom of speech, press, religion, petition 2Right to Bear Arms 3No Quartering of Soldiers 4No unreasonable search and seizure 5Rights of the accused: Right against self- incrimination, no double jeopardy, “due process” of law

Bill of Rights cont’d 6Right to Speedy Trial and right to an attorney. 7Trial by Jury in Civil Cases 8No Cruel and unusual punishment & no excessive bail. 9Powers not named go to the people 10Powers not named to go to the States and People

So What?? What does this right mean to a citizen?  On the Translating the Bill of Rights handout. 1.Match the Amendment with the “So What explanation.” 2.Then illustrate each of the Amendments so you can remember what it means

SO WHAT??? What does this right mean to a citizen? Amend ment So What?? 1 I can express my opinion verbally and symbolically even if I am criticizing the gov’t, BUT I can’t cause people harm. The gov’t cannot establish a national religion, I am free to be any religion I choose. Church and state are separate in America. I can collect signatures petitioning a change in the gov’t The press can print anything as long as it can be supported by fact.

SO WHAT??? What does this right mean to a citizen? 2 I can own a gun. 3 The gov’t CANNOT ask me to house a member of the military. 4 Police need a warrant to search me or take my property. 5 I DO NOT have to testify against myself (“right to remain silent”) I can’t be tried for the same crime twice Due Process: everyone must have a fair, public trial, an impartial jury, laws must apply to all people fairly.

SO WHAT??? What does this right mean to a citizen? 6 My trial can not drag on forever and if I cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed to me. 7 If I am involved in a civil case (law suits) then I also will have a trial by jury. 8 I can’t have a severe punishment for a small crime, or a punishment that is “unusually cruel” like being stoned to death. The judge must set bail that matches the crime. 9 I have rights, like the right to drive a car, that are not given to me specifically in the Constitution. 10 The states also have rights, like the right to establish schools, that are not given to them in the Constitution
