The Bill of Rights

       "The Bill of Rights" is one of the units that i really understood and i really enjoyed learning about. I also enjoyed learning this because it is very important to know what rights you have incase of any emergency. These rights can be very useful. I already had a background on the Bill of Rights but now that i took this unit into further consideration i understand it much better and so much more clear. In the Bill of Rights unit i learned 10  basic amendments that we the people have. The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. I

       The first amendment guarantees five basic rights which are, Freedom of Speech, Religion, Press, Petition, and Assembly. The second amendment guarantees the right to bear arms and form state militias. The third amendment bans the quartering or stationing of military troops. The fourth amendment prevents unreasonable search and seizure. The fifth amendment provides rights of the accused. The sixth amendment provides the right to a fair trial. The seventh amendment guarantees rights to jury trial in civil cases. The eighth amendment bands excessive bail and punishment. The ninth amendment guarantees rights retained by the people, and the tenth amendment ensures state's rights.
