Government

• Bill of Rights

4

• General Information
• First 10 Amendments to the Constitution
• Passed by Congress September 25, 1789
• Ratified December 15, 1791.
• Essential component of LIMITED GOVERNMENT in the
  United States

After being officially proposed, either by
Congress or a national convention of the states,
a constitutional amendment must then be ratified
by the legislatures of, or by ratifying
conventions, in at least three-fourths of the
states.
5

• The FIRST Amendment
• Protects 5 basic freedoms
• Freedom of RELIGION
• Freedom of SPEECH
• Freedom of the PRESS
• Freedom of ASSEMBLY
• Freedom to PETITION the government

6

• Freedom of RELIGION
• First Amendment protects religious freedom in two
  ways
• The government can not establish an official
  religion
• Americans have the right to practice religion as
  they wish

7

• Freedom of SPEECH
• Limiting Free Speech
• The Constitution does not permit speech that
  harms other people, SLANDER for example
• Extending Free Speech
• The Constitution does protect SYMBOLIC SPEECH

What about burning an American flag in protest?
Is that protected?)
8

• Freedom of the PRESS
• Limited in many of the same ways as freedom of
  speech. For example, you cannot commit LIBEL.
• A published false statement that is damaging to a
  person's reputation
• Also prohibits the government from banning books,
  magazines, newspapers, or other printed materials.

But shouldnt the government be able to ban some
offensive materials?
9

• Freedom of ASSEMBLY
• Protects our right to attend meetings, parades,
  rallies, etc.
• Also protects our right to form and join
  organizations.
• But some organizations are mean. Shouldnt the
  government ban those?

10

• Freedom to PETITION
• Protects our right to express our ideas to the
  government.

11

• The SECOND Amendment
• Guarantees the right to BEAR ARMS
• So do gun control measures like the BRADY LAW
  violate the Constitution?

The law requires a prospective handgun buyer to
wait five business days while the authorities
check on his or her background, during which time
the sale is approved or prohibited based on an
established set of criteria.
12

• The THIRD Amendment
• Limits the power of the national government to
  force Americans to QUARTER soldiers
• Least controversial amendment

Places restrictions on the quartering of soldiers
in private homes without the owner's consent,
forbidding the practice in peacetime. The
amendment is a response to Quartering Acts passed
by the British parliament during the American
Revolutionary War, which had allowed the British
Army to lodge soldiers in private residences.
13

• The FOURTH Amendment
• Protects against unreasonable searches and
  seizures
• Key Terms
• Search Warrant

14

• The FIFTH Amendment
• Protects the rights of people accused of a crime
• Key Terms
• Double Jeopardy
• The Double Jeopardy Clause in the Fifth Amendment
  to the US Constitution prohibits anyone from
  being prosecuted twice for substantially the same
  crime.
• Right to Remain Silent
• Taking the Fifth refers to the practice of
  invoking the right to remain silent rather than
  incriminating oneself. It protects guilty as well
  as innocent persons who find themselves in
  incriminating circumstances
• Due Process of Law
• A fundamental, constitutional guarantee that all
  legal proceedings will be fair and that one will
  be given notice of the proceedings and an
  opportunity to be heard before the government
  acts to take away one's life, liberty, or
  property.
• Eminent Domain
• The power of the government to take private
  property and convert it into public use. The
  Fifth Amendment provides that the government may
  only exercise this power if they provide just
  compensation to the property owners.

15

• The SIXTH Amendment
• Guarantees additional rights to people accused of
  crimes, including the rights to
• Be told the charges against you
• A speedy and public trial by a jury
• Confront your accusers
• Call witnesses in your behalf
• Have a lawyer

16

• The SEVENTH Amendment
• Guarantees the right to a jury trial in civil
  cases

17

• The EIGHTH Amendment
• Forbids excessive bail and CRUEL AND UNUSUAL
  PUNISHMENTS
• Does this include the death penalty?

18

• The NINTH Amendment
• Protects rights not specifically mentioned in the
  Constitution
• The Ninth Amendment was James Madisons attempt
  to ensure that the Bill of Rights was not seen as
  granting to the people of the United States only
  the specific rights it addressed. Because the
  rights protected by the Ninth Amendment are not
  specified, they are referred to as
  unenumerated. The Supreme Court has found that
  unenumerated rights include such important rights
  as the right to travel, the right to vote, the
  right to keep personal matters private and to
  make important decisions about ones health care
  or body.

19

• The TENTH Amendment
• Maintains that powers not specifically given to
  the federal government are reserved for the
  states
• The states determine the rules for marriages,
  divorces, driving licenses, voting, state taxes,
  job and school requirements, rules for police and
  fire departments, and many more.

THE BIG QUESTION How do we balance the rights
of one individual against the rights of others
and against the rights of the community?
