Everyday the constitution is used. When a person is arrested he is given Miranda rights. This comes from a Supreme Court decision utilizing the 14th amendment. If a police officer comes to your house and wants to search it he must give you a search warrant. This comes from the 4th, 5th, and 14th amendments. The ways we vote are in the constitution and how congress is elected and when. The duties of congress and the president are in the constitution. The fact that a president can only run two terms comes is in the constitution in the 22nd amendment. Who can vote is in the 15th, 19th, and 26th amendments. If you are arrested the constitution states you are to be given a "speedy trial " and to be given representation. The ability to protest is given you in the constitution or to write, say, or demonstrate against the government comes from the constitution. All of your civil rights are in the Bill of Rights. So, these are just a few examples of how the constitution is used today, but we need to pay attention to it to make sure that the constitution is followed and works for each one of us.
