Among gay men, piercing the left nipple only or tattooing an armband on the left upper arm only, can be perceived as a statement that the wearer is a top or dominant, meaning that sexually he is anally insertive and orally passive (he receives oral from his partner). In the context of someone who is into B&D or S&M, it means that they are the dominant partner in sexual activities and function as the master, daddy or sir. A gay man who has pierced his right nipple only or has tattooed an armband on only his right upper arm, can be perceived as the bottom or submissive, meaning that sexually he is the anally receptive partner and orally active (he gives oral to his partner). In the B&D and S&M subculture, it means that they are the submissive partner in sex, and function as the slave or boy.

The origin or left/right can possibly be attributed to the following:

The wearing of various colored bandanas around the neck was common in the mid and late nineteenth century among cowboys, steam railroad engineers, and miners in the Western United States. It is thought that the wearing of bandanas by gay men originated in San Francisco after the Gold Rush, when, because of a shortage of women, men dancing with each other in square dances developed a code where the man wearing the blue bandana took the male part in the square dance, and the man wearing the red bandana took the female part (these bandanas were usually worn around the arm or hanging from the belt or in the back pocket of one's jeans). The modern-day version of this Bandana Code or Hanky Code actually originates back to the 70s when the New York City newspaper, the Village Voice, published an article suggesting that it would be easier for gay men in the Village to pick each other up if they didn't only have to rely on wearing their keys in their back pockets, left to denote active, right passive. The feature suggested that they should all get down to the surplus store at the intersection of Christopher and Washington Streets where they could buy color-coded Levi's bandanas. Although it was originally said in a sarcastic manner, the gay community took the recommendation to heart, not only in New York, but eventually across the globe. Although the code isn't as strong as it once was, it still exists in some circles.

2. The right to bear arms.

3. No soldier can force themselves into someones home to stay there.

4. Protection from unreasonable search or seizure.

It was signed by people that wanted those rights.There were more people that wanted those rights than the ones who thought it would be used against them. Ex.: The Federalists.

The first amendment prohibits congress from passing a law regulating speech. The prohibition is on congress, not on anyone else. Thus, your speech is not protected. If you use your speech to incite a riot, to lead a rebellion, or to slander someone, you can suffer the consequences. Still, your act must be illegal. Your slander must be a lie. You do not commit slander if what you say is true. If you yell fire and the building is not burning and you cause a stampede, you have committed a crime. If the building is burning, you have not committed a crime. Untruthful speech is not protected.

The First Amendment freedom to lobby for laws and policies that affect them is called freedom to petition.

Madison, the president

so that no one can say we dont have a righteous government. wich we dont. so the added it so they can cover their butts not ours. how many times have YOUR rights been violated?? get the picture..just like the second ammendment. every man has the right to bear arms but yet ive gotta go to trial for carrying one.

The third amendment protects people from having to quarter soldiers.

Yes I would...if you understand the reason Alexander Hamilton, wanted to put into effect the Bill of Rights. He felt that human rights were "not specifically defined." Although there were arguments from James Madison, that the Constitution was clear on these rights, and did not need amended. However, Hamilton insisted, that it needed to be clearly stated. Madison was afraid that by "Amending" the Constitution, it would lead to further amendments, that would "change" the initial meaning of the Constitution.

The 8th Amendment guarantees that punishments will be fair, and not cruel, and that extraordinarily large fines will not be set.

When the punishment is greater than the crime.

The Six Basic Rights ; The Right to Be Safe , The Right to Choose Freely , The Right to Be Heard , The Right to Be Informed , The Right to Education and The Right to Service .

The First Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees several important right we have as individuals. Among these are freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, right to peaceful assembly and the right to petition the government to redress grievances.

The US Bill of Rights was written by James Madison and was ratified by congress in 1791. They were based off similar documents called Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta that were passed earlier in the United Kingdom.

the Father of the Bill of rights is James Madison

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Text:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

A whole series of amendments was introduced in the House of Representatives by James Madison on June 8, 1789, including what, after editing, were eventually passed and ratified as the first ten amendments (or "Bill of Rights") to the Constitution. Most of their provisions, including the substance of the fifth amendment, were based on amendments that had been requested by various state conventions when they ratified the Constitution (over the previous two years). Similar provisions were also already found in a number of state constitutions. The specific provisions of the fifth amendment seem to be based on a request from Virginia. But, in fact, many of the rights spoken of in the Bill of Rights had a LONG history in Britain. A form of the "due process" clause of the fifth amendment may be found as early as the Magna Carta (1215).

The First Congress of the United States submitted 12 amendments to the states. Numbers 3 through 12 were ratified and became the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States. They are known as the Bill of Rights. The original copies are located in the National Archives Building in Washington, DC. The Bill of Rights is made up of the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. The original copy is located in the United States Archive in Washington DC.
