Bill Of Rights, All 27 Amendments, And The Constitution

The bill of rights is a popular document that was not originally in the US constitution, but anti federalists wanted a bill of rights really bad because supposedly they were afraid of a strong central government. They did not want another king so some states refused the constitution until there was a bill of rights. Along with being afraid of a central government they wanted a limited government so that government could not control them. The anti federalists also thought the government would not protect their individual rights enough so they wanted a bill of rights.

The Bill of Rights was first proposed on September 25, 1789, and they were than adopted by the states on December 15, 1791. The three most important amendments that are guaranteed under the Bill of Rights are the First Amendment, Basic Liberties, the Fourth amendment, Protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, and lastly the Fifth amendment, Rights of the Accused, Due Process of the Law, and Eminent Domain. Our constitution is what makes America a country where people of all ethnicities want to come here to live because of our rights and freedoms that is guaranteed by our constitution.The first amendment is the not just the first amendment on the list of all of the amendments, its first because it's the most important amendment in the Bill of Rights.

Based on the Constitution, it is possible for individuals in society to achieve equality. Equality is possible based off the constitution because the constitution applies to every citizen who lives under it. Some of the amendments in the constitution even give people rights that later make everyone equal and treated the same. According to the constitution of the U.S, equality is possible. In another perspective, based off the constitution there is no equality possible. Equality is possible based off the Constitution. The Constitution has made amendments that apply to every citizens who lives under it. The government could even pass new amendments that could help equality become achievable. Also all the same rights and laws are given to every person, nothing different.

The constitution, what does the constitution mean to me, well for me the constitution gives me the voice to speak up, to be heard and a list of other rights of a citizen I am entitled too. The United Sates Constitution and Bill of Rights was written to protect the rights of people under government authority. Even though there is a literal list of rights that we as people are given under the constitution that each person be treated the same, sadly that’s not that case. I believe that rights are not protected, take the murder of Philando Castile for example for what seemed like a routine traffic stop turned into someone losing their life. What does this have to do with rights being protected? I feel like if Philando had been white male or in

The creation of the Bill of Rights, battles, and soldiers who died for us every day. These events and people all represent how I can live my life today, what I am allowed to do, and simply what I can even say. Freedom is not free, people shed blood for us and some even die, so that I could live in a free country. Freedom is my gift that I was given when I was adopted and through this whole year, I have learned who has sacrificed their life for my freedom and what events have impacted my freedom.

The Bill of Rights is the accumulation of the first ten amendments made to the United States Constitution. Before ratifying the Constitution, some states required that a Bill of Rights be instituted. James Madison, the primary author of these amendments and later America’s fourth President, drafted twelve revisions. Congress passed ten of the proposed amendments, creating the Bill of Rights. While these revisions did create new guidelines for the Constitution, they did not change the original intentions of the framers.

One of the many things America is known for other than the big cities and cheese fries, is freedom and rights. Becoming a citizen means you gain freedom and have certain rights that protect you as a person. There are 10 official rights (amendments) called the Bill of Rights. Americans should be for The Bill of Rights because it/they protects the people and allows citizens to express themselves.

The Bill of Rights were added after the new U.S. Constitution was first ratified in 1788. The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments of the US Constitution, it guaranteed such rights as the freedoms of speech, assembly, and worship. The Amendments created a black and white outline to what people would be allowed to do in this country, but, at points, the amendments have grey areas that can be used to justify actions of people considered guilty. Any case can be based around one of the Bill of Rights, like a case that went to the courts in January 17, 2014, was about a family fighting the eighth amendment, which is bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

The Revolutionary War span from 1765-1783 after the British colonies started to fight for their freedom from the King of England. The founding fathers wrote, “…the purposes of government are to promote justice, to maintain peace at home, to defend the nation from foreign foes…. and, above all, to secure the “Blessings of Liberty” For Americans,” (Ginsbery, 2015 29). The constitution and Bill of Rights American citizens of the 21st century have grown up with was not the original idea our founding father created. As the Constitution developed in the late 18th century, debated started to emerge questions about where power should be concentrated within the government. The Article of Confederation was in power before.

Ratified in 1788 and 1791 respectively, the Constitution of the United States and the Accompanying Bill of Rights have set the stage for the political culture and society which has, and continues to exist in the United States of America. The system of laws, regulations, liberties, and rights created by these documents has set the stage for many of the dynamic qualities inherent in the American culture. Because of the dynamic and intentionally vague nature of the documents, championed by the Non-Originalist view interpretation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights the American legal system possesses the ability to adapt and evolve along with the continuously evolving American society and culture.

Before dealing with individual amendments I would like to deal with the entire Bill of Rights and the constitution itself. The framers of the Constitution were wary of ceding too much power to the federal government. They rightly believed many local citizens would never make it to the capital but would interact with local government, so the power should be kept at the most local level possible. It was impossible to foresee in 1791 a world with video conferencing, 24-hr news and the ability to fly around the world within 36 hours. Because of the world we live in, I believe it is more necessary to make the Constitution and the Bill of Rights the foundational laws of the land. In 1833, the Supreme Court ruled in Barron v. Baltimore that the Bill of rights was written out of fear by the Antifederalist to constrain the federal government. We have given the individual States the power to make laws that conflict and contradict with Federal law, the laws of other states and national norms. It is these contradictions that allowed the Jim Crow laws and the doctrine of Separate but Equal to flourish in the aftermath of the Civil War. I believe that the law should be formulated at the highest level and filter down to the lowest. Make the Constitution and the Bill of Rights the total law of the land and no other law in any state may contradict them to ensure the beginnings of equality among all citizens.

The idea of equal rights to all people under a government of laws was decreased by the existence of slavery. There were the rejection of rights to some people because of race. Although, the Constitution and Bill of Rights did not outlaw slavery and discrimination based on the race or gender. One of the greatest early opponents of slavery and racial discrimination, Frederick Douglass, argued in a speech (1852) that “interpreted as it ought to be interpreted, the Constitution is a glorious liberty document.”

Have you ever wondered how the amendment can achieve equality? My stance in this essay is that mostly all amendments can achieve equality. Equality is possible because with the amendments that we have it allows all men and women to have the same opportunities in life, live some sort of freedom, and have a fair life. Based on the Constitution, it is possible for individuals in society to achieve equality because the first, second, thirteenth,and nineteenth amendments allow citizens of the United States to have certain freedoms otherwise not granted in the Constitution.

It declares that all born in the U.S. were citizens without attention to race or color. It is significant because it is to protect slaves’ rights and freedom and allow them to fell equal.

There are many Amendments in The Bill of Rights and all of the rights are to the constitution to the United States. The purpose of the The Bill of Rights is to protect individuals liberties. The Bill of Rights was written in 1789 and was ratified in December 15, 1791, James Madison wrote The Bill of Rights and he was the one to guide it through the New Constitution.
