A petition is a document that we send to the government that tells them how we feel on certain topics and is a right guaranteed under the 1st amendment
What is a petition?
2nd Amendment
Actually, the 2nd amendment allows people to bear firearms
You shouldn't have that gun! It's illegal!
I do not have one. I will leave and eventually get one from a judge
4th Amendment
I have come to search your house.
Do you have a warrant to search my house as mandated by the 4th amendment so people are not unreasonably searched
This keeps the government in touch with how people want to be governed and allows for a better more accurate reflection of the country's interests.
5th Amendment
Why have I been called here?
This right allows protection from the United States government, foreign governments, and other people.
6th Amendment
Why do you have to work so late mom?
This right allows people to not be under constant government surveillance and to limit the federal government's power over the people.
9th Amendment
This right makes sure that the best case possible is presented in court, making convictions more accurate. When incorrect, it allows the guilty to stay free.
We are trying you for a crime
Ok, this court is adjourned as double jeopardy is not allowed under the 5th amendment
I have already been tried for this same crime, and was found innocent
This right allows the innocent to not be unfairly held in jail awaiting their trial.
I must defend my client's innocence quickly as the 6th amendment tells me I must continuously work on the case to give him a speedy trial
This right helps to control the government's power over the people, and also allows for more freedom of thought through the freedom of expression.
Wearing the hijab is protected under the 9th amendment, as it protects Americans' rights that are not specifically listed in the constitution
