Bill of Rights

Well, there are difference categories of the first amendment.

It is argued that the First Amendment rights of students are allowed to be limited more because students are in a social contract with the school; this means students must give up some rights for the common good in exchange for an education and all that comes with it.

The case Tinker v. Des Moines (a case about free speech), the Supreme Court established that students "do not shed their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate". Yeah, sure, we have first amendment rights, but they're very limited. For example, you may have heard of the "Bong hits for Jesus" case (Morse v. Frederick) where they limited the kid's speech. When it comes to speech, they're also very strict when it comes to obscenity because it disrupts the learning process.

As for religion, there are many cases about it. (Try firstamendmentcenter.org). One example is Santa Fe v. Doe. The students held a vote about whether or not they wanted someone to lead a prayer on the loudspeaker at the football game at their public school. They held a vote and decided to and chose someone to lead it, but since it was public, Supreme Court found that it was a violation of the establishment clause.

There isn't a ton of press in schools that doesn't fall under freedom of speech, but one example is Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier when they allowed the school to limit the speech.

(not addressed in answer: right to peaceably assemble and right to petition the government.)

The Bill of Rights are the first 10 amendments made to the Constitution. They explained the colonists rights.

The part that says "Congress shall pass no law respecting the establishment of a religion, nor inhibiting the free practice thereof"

The first part of this amendment is often called the "Establishment Clause".

The Eighth Amendment (Amendment VIII) to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights (ratified 1789) prohibiting the federal government from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines or cruel and unusual punishments, including torture. TheU.S. Supreme Courthas ruled that this amendment's Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause applies to the states. The phrases employed originated in the English Bill of Rights of 1689.

The Bill of right is a good idea because it gives people their rights.

people has rights because of the Bill of Right...

The Bill of Rights listed the things that the Government was NOT allowed to do.

Article 1

first amendment,it staed the five basic rights that we all get like the right to assemble and relgion in lator years more amendments were ratifide too like the right to remane silent(5th amendment)

In the United States, the term 'liberals' is applied to people who are proponents of the Democratic party, or other minority parties, like the Green Party. 'Conservatives' are people who fall politically at the other end of the spectrum, and typically vote for the Republican party.

It was introduced by James Madison. The original Constitution could not be ratified by the Continental Congress because it failed to protect the fundamental principles of human liberty.

The Bill of Rights is itself a collection of 10 amendments to the Constitution. Because of this, the Bill of Rights does not get amended, but it's possible to pass amendments that cancel other amendments (like the 18th and 21st amendments). So, if someone wanted to change the Bill of Rights, they could (in theory, at least) try to get an amendment passed that modified one of the amendments contained within the Bill of Rights.

8th amendment

The tenth amendment is sometimes called the state sovereignty resolutions, or state sovereignty bills. The powers not delegated to the US Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution. It is the name for the first ten amendments of the Constitution.

To amend the constitution of the US to correct shortcomings or errors that were not foreseen by the original drafters.

Origins of the Fifth Amendment was created in 1968.

The 1st Amendment was created to protect the freedoms of the American people. These freedoms include establishment and practice of religion, free speech, free press, and the rights to assemble and petition.

It was written because some of the people who came to America left Europe to try to find these freedoms; protecting them in the Constitution means that these rights cannot be taken away.

The first 10 amendments to the Constitution -- known as the Bill of Rights.

There was a fight over the "Bill of Rights" between the Federalists, who wanted a stronger central government and the Anti-Federalists, who were predominately pro-states rights. The Federalists camp included President George Washington, John Adams, and James Madison (although his district was mainly anti-federalists). The states rights group included Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and George Mason. The states rights camp wanted a bill of rights in writing while Federalists like Alexander Hamilton felt it wasn't needed. The states rights group did want a central government since the failure of the "Articles of Confederation" but a government that would not interfere with the rights they fought for in the Revolutionary War (such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion). They will not sign the new constitution until these rights were spelled out. James Madison became the chief architect of the document. Prior to the constitutional convention, each state already had a bill of rights. Madison used as a guide the Virginia constitution as did Thomas Jefferson did when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. The Virginia constitution was written by George Mason in 1776. In 1789, Madison laid out 20 amendments which 10 were accepted to be called the "Bill of Rights."

what are some example of the 8th 9th and 10th amendment?please help[=

Outside the Bill of Rights, and just generally speaking, Constitutional amendments don't preserve individual rights. Two amendments specifically limit individual rights, one for the better (abolishing slavery) and the other out of a sense of moral superiority (Prohibition). The first 10 amendments, which not all preserve individual rights, are called the Bill of Rights because they outline "freedoms" that were not in written into the Constitution. By allowing for an amendment system, the founders allowed the Constitution to change as needed. In many ways, amendments are just a further specification of something already in the Constitution or redefining something ambiguous. An amendment exists, for instance, to limit the term a President can serve (to two); amendments exist that extend the right to vote to the former slaves and to women. Proposals to amend the Constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman would not preserve individual rights but rather take them away (like Prohibition for alcoholic beverages, and very much like the feeling of moral superiority the same authors of Prohibition had).

-----------------

Amendments often clarify specifically something that may or may not have been evident in the document before the amendment. The slavery amendments and the women sufferage clarify and remove any doubt that the document means that all people can vote . The Constitution said "We the people", there has been some debate over the years as to who "the people are". So an amendment can "preserve individual rights". Amendments are often enacted to clarify and remove any doubt about a question. For example, do disabled folks have the same rights as healthy people.

nope.

Second amendment I don't think that the second amendment gives the right to keep and bear arms. People already had that right. The second amendment states that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infirnged.

James Madison oppsed it but he didnt come up with the ammendments he took them from The Constitution.
