from being stripped of their unalienable rights. Each of those 10 amendments protects us from different things, and gives us different rights. Such as in amendment 8 it protects us from cruel and unusual punishment.
here I give you a small really condensed list.
Am1. gives us 5 rights freedom of speech, press, religion, petition, and assembly
Am2. gives us the right to keep and bear arms.
Am3. protects us from the quartering of troops.
Am4. protects us from illegal searches and seizures.
Am5.protects us against self incrimination.
Am6. the right to a speedy and fair trial
Am.7 right to a trial by jury
Am.8 no cruel or unusual punishment.
