Some of the rights granted within this amendment are freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition. Without the 1st Amendment the United States, not many people would be able to enjoy their everyday life due to the restrictions that would endure from their part-taking. Most people need

United Kingdom. The Constitution and the Amendments are the basis for the criminal system in this country and the procedures for the courts and the law enforcement community. In this essay, the role of the amendments and the Bill of Rights will be examined as they relate to the court system and the criminal justice system as a whole. One of the significant amendments in criminal policy is the Fourth Amendment. The documents notable components are; the right to be free from unreasonable searches and

The first amendment of the Bill of Rights allows citizens to speak and express their views without getting in trouble by the government who is elected. Since I live in America I never thought about other countries not being able to question the government for fear of getting into serious trouble or even fear of your life. But today we are protected and allowed to express that disagreement with anyone no matter who they are or what they do for a living. Remember back in time when royalty was ruled

The Bill of Rights is the most important section of a document that has defined the American experience since 1788. Each of the ten amendments are important, of course, but there is always one out of a group that stands high above the others. Think of Les Miserables without Jean Valjean, or the American Revolution without George Washington, or 'The Federalist' without Alexander Hamilton. Not to say that the adventures of Javert and Les Amis de l'ABC wouldn't make a compelling story, or that Washington

Massiah v. United States that indicted defendants have a Sixth Amendment right to counsel were violated were federal agents, acting in collusion with his co-defendant, deliberately elicited incriminating information from him, in the absence of his counsel, after his indictment. The court stated that the surreptitious nature of the interrogation made the violation even more serious. Thus, the government violated Massiah’s Sixth Amendment rights when it used an informant to elicit statements from him after

America’s gift to my generation is our rights. One right in particular is the second amendment of the constitution “The Right To Bear Arms”. The second amendment of the bill of rights guarantees the right to own firearms and use them. The second amendment was approved 8 years after the revolutionary war.The second amendment was created December 15 1791. The ten amendments were created so they wouldn’t be put in a situation where they were controlled by a tyrannical government again, and to set the

the Bill of Rights was passed. Basically, he believed that having the Bill of Rights would have made the government assume powers not enumerated in the Constitution. Madison was not the only Founder to have these concerns. These Bill of Rights had ten amendments written in them. Madison felt the Bill of Rights were ineffective. He called them his "nausea project." Madison then supported the amendments so he could get elected to the House of Representatives. Until this day, the amendments are discussed

The 19th Amendment is about women's rights. Women gained the right to vote when this amendment was ratified. This amendment was passed to show that women were slowly gaining the same rights as men. My article is titled “3 female jail guards sue Dart.” It is about how these guards would be sexually harassed by the prisoners, but the male supervisors chose to ignore the problem. The male supervisors when confronted with the problem by the guards would often say that it is part of the job and they

First Amendment rights are like an antique; they have been around for a while, and people will treasure them for years to come. Americans have valued First Amendment rights since the constitution was written, and still do to this day. As well as valuing them, Americans are also willing to fight for their rights; whether it is by going to court, picketing, or protesting. As a result of this willingness to fight, we have seen many court cases and protests about First Amendment rights, and will likely

What happened to the Second Amendment rights? What happens when a law abiding citizen is disarmed? What is the cause for the recent drop in gun violence over the past several years? How can we compare gun laws and regulations to the Eighteenth Amendment? “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjugated races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjugated races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed
