Name one right guaranteed by the first amendment?
The First Amendment did not grant nor could it guarantee any rights. It was strictly a restrictive clause---prepared days after the ninth amendment that had people retain all rights mentioned in the First Amendment and many others. If there was any guarantee inferred by the First Amendment, it was that the government would not pass any laws that would abridge or cut short the rights -- already granted -- that was mentioned. Just like the Second Amendment which did not grant the right to own and bear arms (which was already in existed) but that the government shall not infringe upon that right. The first 10 amendments were not a Bill of Rights, and the Ninth referred to the Declaration of Rights already in existence in 1776-77, and those initiated and embedded into the developing free society, some for over 150 years in Virginia.
How did the eighth amendment affect the people who were in jail in 1700s?

Is the fifth amendment is commonly referred to the due process clause?
Other than "Double Jeopardy" or "The Fifth" (referring to the right to not self-incriminate), I'm not aware of one vernacular title.
Briefly, the Fifth covers:
- Due Process (along with the 4th and 14th)
- Double Jeopardy
- Emminent Domain
- Protection from self-incrimination
- Custodial Interrogation (e.g. Miranda, Escobido, et al).

Does plea bargaining violate fifth amendment rights against self incriminaTION?
The right against self incrimination, provided by the 5th Amendment to the US Constitution, is supposed to protect against coerced confessions. Plea Bargaining where an innocent person is convinced that there is enough circumstantial evidence to convict should there be a trial, may be considered coerced to confess to something he did not do, in order to get the benefit of the plea bargain, and a lesser sentence than if he went to trial. This obviates the benefits of the Fifth Amendment.
The right to a grand jury indictment (Grand Jury Clause) has not been incorporated to the states, per the decision in Hurtado v. California, 110 U.S. 516 (1884). "This provision applies only in federal courts and is not applicable to the States, either as an element of due process or as a direct command of the Fourteenth Amendment."
It is important to note that, while the states are not required to use Grand Juries, those that have eliminated the practice have replaced Grand Juries with preliminary hearings, which provides similar, but not identical, constitutional protection.
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

law deters acts and if in influence is a question of care, it will only enforce what is considered on the bill in the tedious process we call American Understanding of Reading Law - proficiency in the English language goes out the window.

What is the position of the United Methodist church on the Second Amendment of the US Constitution?
As far as I know, the Methodist church does not have a position on the second Amendment.
When was the 7th amendment finally passed?
The bill of rights (the first ten amendments) were all enacted on the same date: Dec 15, 1791. This was only about two and a half years after the constitution itself was ratified, so I'm not sure that "finally" is really appropriate.
