2  How can we, as AGS scholars, communicate the synthesis of the amendments in music to our peers so that they may critically think about them?  Make a playlist of songs related to rights and/or amendments  Analyze and explain the meaning of songs  Connect the songs to amendments

3  You Haven’t Done Nothing – Stevie Wonder  The Unknown Soldier – The Doors  This Land is Your Land – Woody Guthrie  Born Free – Kid Rock  1913 Massacre – Woody Guthrie  Get Up, Stand Up – Bob Marley  The Times are a Changing – Bob Dylan  Give Peace a Chance – John Lennon and Yoko Ono  Happy Xmas (War is Over) – John Lennon  99 Problems – Jay-Z  We Can’t Stop – Miley Cyrus  Hurricane – Bob Dylan

4  Most of our songs are protest songs, and they cover the First Amendment, as the artists have the right to speak out against the government  Other amendments covered: o Fourth Amendment o Ninth Amendment o Fourteenth Amendment o Twenty-sixth Amendment

5  America is the land of opportunity  There is nothing different from “you and me”  “This land was made for you and me” – Expresses freedoms and rights not explicitly stated in the Constitution, referring to the Ninth Amendment  “This land is my land, this land is your land” – These lyrics imply equal freedom as well as equal protection of the law, referring to the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment

6  Describes the Italian Hall Disaster in Calumet, Michigan, in 1913  Many people were packed into a music hall for Christmas Eve celebrations  Someone yelled “Fire!” although there was in fact no fire  Many people died from being trampled  The song brings up the debate involving the First Amendment, if any speech is protected by said right

7  Artists can subliminally exercise their rights in their music  The Amendments impact our lives more than we think they do  The First Amendment is the most popular and most widely exercised amendment of all  Most amendments that are mentioned are those about social issues, rather than those about political issues
