A Visitor From Outer Space Constitutional Rights Foundation

Imagine it is the year You are watching your wall- sized television and a special news bulletin comes on. This strange creature appears on the screen and informs you that it has taken over America. You rapidly flip through all 500 channels and it appears on every channel. It says... NEWS BULLETIN

But I come in peace. I realize that individual freedom means a great deal to American citizens. Therefore, I will not take away all your rights. ATTENTION!!! I am Sthgir from planet Noitutitsnoc. Just as I have taken over television, I will take over your lives.

You have a choice. From a list of basic rights, you may choose five to keep. Think carefully before you vote, as all your rights as citizens will end except for the ones you select. You will work with a group of other citizens to decide, and your decision must be unanimous. Failure to reach a unanimous decision will result in the termination of all rights. The list of choices will now appear on screen.

1.Right to have a state militia and bear arms. 2.Right to freedom of speech. 3.Right to a lawyer. 4.Right to protection from cruel and unusual punishment. 5.Right to freedom of the press. 6.Right to a jury trial. 7. Right to freedom of religion. 8.Right to peacefully assemble. 9.Right to privacy. 10. Protection from self-incrimination. 11. Right to equal protection of the laws. Choose Only Five

Was it difficult to reach a unanimous decision? Why or why not? How would our society be different if we were limited to the five rights you chose? Which rights were the easiest for you to give up? Why? What important or surprising things did you learn about the Bill of Rights or Constitution today?
