Back in 1791 . . .
Tis true thy mother! The second amendment allow thou the right to own and bear guns
No thy mother I can! This is because of the 2nd amendment.
Jimmy, put that down your not allowed to own a GUN!!
Thy Brother has the rights! Thy 1st amendment allows the freedom of assembly, as well as press, speech, religion and petition.
Ridiculous! I DEMAND that thou does not leave thy household!
Mother, I will be off. Me and my friends are going hunting
Tis true. Thy 4th states that you cannot search his house without a warrant from a judge
Well, father that is against his 4th amendment rights.
Hello my beautiful wife and daughter. I am going to inspect our neighbors house for stuff, I can do that because I am a officer.
Unfortunately, this is pretty vague so a trial might take a day or years, but will be done as fast as possible.
Actually, the 6th amendment prevents that, making sure EVERYONE gets a speedy trial
Ah yes, thy Bill of Rights. Well, thou wont stop me from getting a warrant and making him wait a long time for a trial!
Yes husband, the 8th prohibits cruel and unusual punishments. Like the 6th, it is also vague, so you MAY be able to get your way, but it is highly unlikely.
Father, you dumb, arogenate soul . . . THAT PROHIBITS THE 8TH!
WELL THAT DOESNT MATTER! He WILL be found guilty and be beaten to DEATH!!
The Constitution has some flaws, and these amendments fix it. Citizens are people like you and me, so their rights should also be protected.
Father, the Bill of Rights was written to protect citizens basic freedom.
This isn't fair! As someone whom works for the government, this limits all of my powers! I basically do NOTHING!
