Bill of Rights

Antifederalist fears that the Constitution would destroy liberties.

In government a bill is a proposal that is considered for becoming a law. If a bill is passed by Congress and signed by the president it becomes a law.

1791. 12 amendments were proposed by Congress in 1789. The 10 that became the Bill of Rights became active in 1791 when they were approved by 3/4 of the states.

The 3rd amendment was meant to protect citizens from the government. Back then, quartering soldiers meant that the government wanted to keep a close eye on you, so you don't challenge the government. It is important for us to keep our freedom.

The bill of rights is part of the US constitution. For a list of the signers visit http://www.usconstitution.net/declarsigndata.html

The Founding Fathers had experienced the policy (Quartering Act of 1765) of the British monarchy stipulating that colonists provide temporary housing and other necessities to British soldiers stationed in the American colonies. Viewed as an indirect tax by the colonists, the British government argued that since British Regulars were stationed in North America to protect the colonists from encroachment from both French forces and their Indian allies, the colonists should assist in financing the British expeditionary force. With passage of the Intolerable Acts of 1774, the British monarchy further strengthened the law requiring colonists to quarter soldiers. In particular, British soldiers requesting quarter in the homes of colonists living in Boston, Massachusetts were viewed with suspicion; the belief among many Bostonians was that these soldiers were determining the loyalty of the American colonists and/or attempting to locate members of the Sons of Liberty.

In order to avoid this circumstance in the future, the State delegations approved this amendment as part of the Bill of Rights.

The two religious provisions of the First Amendment are that Congress shall pass no law respecting the establishment of a religion and no law prohibiting the free exercise of any religion by any individual. These two provisions are commonly referred to as the "Establishment Clause" and the "Free Exercise Clause."

It depends.

Usually, in a public place, anything is public property and you're free to film it. This is the reason why CCTV is allowed.

However, there are some situations which you will not be allowed to film. For example, secret operations by intelligence agencies. Capturing these on film will result in an extremely heavy fine and confiscation of electronic equipment such as cameras and computers - under the Official Secrets Act (or an equivalent law depending on country).

It is also a persons right that they are not filmed when requested. So, if a public servant tells you to stop filming, you must obey.

James Madison wrote what became known as the bill of rights

They are separate amendments. Freedom of speech and press is the 1st amendment. The second amendment is the Freedom of religion.

Two rights that were included were the Freedom of Speech and Jury Trials.

The Executive and Legislative and Judicial Branches are corrupt to the core! Right to a trial by jury of one's peers is the Seventh Amendment. The highest court in the land is the Common Law Grand Jury - not the Supreme Court, who are some criminals! We need the Seventh Amendment! Answer Absolutely, perhaps now more than ever before. The power of the government, whether state or federal, is so strong that almost anyone can be charged with a crime and convicted. If the decision to convict a person were solely in the hands of the government, all persons charged with crimes would be convicted whether innocent or guilty, because it is the government which brings the charges in the first place.

The 19th amendment gave women voting rights, also called Sufferage.

Amendment X states that powers not delegated in the Constitution are reserved to the states. This is why the Federal Government does not the power to intervene and it is up to individual states.

The 10th Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights. It was not passed by a President (Presidents do not pass laws- THAT is the job of the Legislative Branch). However, the first 10 amendments are the same age as the Constitution. When that was adopted in 1789, George Washington was President.

Part of the Bill of Rights, the 4th Amendment protects all citizens of the US against unreasonable search and seizure.

The police or other agency must have probable cause, and receive a judicial warrant, to enter a home or to seize any property within it. This has since been extended to cover vehicles as well, although the protection is limited and has several exceptions.

No, slavery was not originally prohibited by the constitution. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was written with the understanding that the pursuit of happiness meant the pursuit of property. Slaves were considered property until the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified.

Absolutely nothing. The "proportionate representation" decisions related to apportionment of voting districts for the US House of Representatives and state legislatures to ensure each voter has equal representation in government ("one man, one vote" aka "one person, one vote").

The Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination is a "due process" right that means you can refuse to say anything that might indicate you're guilty of committing an offense. In fact, you can remain completely silent regardless of the questions asked.

The Bill of Rights is in the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights is what we call the first 10 amendments to the Constitution.
