13 THE FOURTH (4TH) G. Judges do not give out search warrants easily. They must be that a convinced search is likely to yield evidence.

14 THE FIFTH

15 THE FIFTH (5TH) A.The Fifth Amendment protects several rights of an accused person. First, it states that no one can be tried for a serious crime without an indictment.

16 THE FIFTH (5TH) B. An indictment is a document issued by a body called a grand jury that formally charges someone with a crime.

17 THE FIFTH (5TH) C. Members of the grand jury evidence first review all the against an accused person before deciding to indict him or her.

18 THE FIFTH (5TH) D. Someone who is indicted is not guilty necessarily. This document simply states the grand belief jury s that he or she crime may have carried out a.

19 THE FIFTH (5TH) E. A trial will decide whether he or she did, in fact, commit a crime.

20 Double Jeopardy

21 THE FIFTH (5TH) F. The Fifth Amendment prevents putting people on trial more than once for the same crime.

22 THE FIFTH (5TH) G. Putting someone on trial for a crime of which he or she was previously found innocent is called double jeopardy. The Fifth Amendment blocks the government from that action.

23 Self Incrimination

24 THE FIFTH (5TH) H. The Fifth Amendment also protects an accused person s right to remain. silent

25 THE FIFTH (5TH) I. Throughout history, governments have sometimes forced people to confess to crimes they did not really commit.

26 THE FIFTH (5TH) J To prevent this, the Fifth Amendment states that people cannot be made to testify against themselves.

27 THE FIFTH (5TH) K. This protects them against. self incrimination

28 Due Process

29 THE FIFTH (5TH) L. The Fifth Amendment states that no one may be denied life,, or property without due process of law. liberty

30 THE FIFTH (5TH) Due Process M. means following set legal procedures. It includes the idea that the laws to be followed must be reasonable.

31 Eminent domain

32 THE FIFTH (5TH) N. Finally, the Fifth Amendment protects property rights. It limits the government s power of eminent. domain

33 THE FIFTH (5TH) O. is the government s right to take property usually land for use. Eminent Domain private public

34 THE FIFTH (5TH) P. For example, if your home lies in the path of a proposed highway, it may be legally taken and destroyed.

35 THE FIFTH (5TH) Q. The Fifth Amendment limits this power. It requires the government to pay a reasonable price for the property.

36 THE SIXTH

37 THE SIXTH (6TH) A. The Sixth Amendment guarantees other rights to the. accused

38 THE SIXTH (6TH) B. First, it requires that persons be clearly told what the charges against them are.

39 THE SIXTH (6TH) C. The Sixth Amendment also covers. trials

40 THE SIXTH (6TH) D. It requires that the accused be allowed a trial by, although he or she may choose to be tried by only a. judge jury

43 THE SIXTH (6TH) G. If possible, the trial should be held in the community where the crime took place.

44 THE SIXTH (6TH) H. An accused person has the right to hear and question all witnesses against him or her.

45 THE SIXTH (6TH) I. He or she must be allowed to call witnesses in. defense

46 THE SIXTH (6TH) J. Finally, he or she has the right to a. lawyer

47 THE SIXTH (6TH) K. The Supreme Court has said that when an accused cannot a lawyer, the government must for one. afford pay

48 THE EIGHTH

49 THE EIGHTH (8TH) A. Sometimes months can pass before a trial can be held.

50 THE EIGHTH (8TH) B. During that time, the accused may have the choice to remain free by paying bail.

51 THE EIGHTH (8TH) Bail C. is a sum of money used as a security deposit. In exchange for being let out of jail, the person pays the sum and promises to appear at the trial.

52 THE EIGHTH (8TH) D. When the accused comes to court for the trial, the bail is. returned

53 THE EIGHTH (8TH) E. If the person fails to, appear he or she loses the money.

54 THE EIGHTH (8TH) F. A judge decides how much bail a person must pay.

55 THE EIGHTH (8TH) G. The Eighth Amendment, however, forbids excessive bail that is, an amount that is much too high.

56 THE EIGHTH (8TH) H. Excessive does not just refer to what a person is able to pay.

57 THE EIGHTH (8TH) I. In setting bail, a judge weighs several matters. These include the of crime committed, the of the accused person, and the likelihood that he or she will appear in court. type record

58 THE EIGHTH (8TH) J. Sometimes judges bail. They do so when they think the accused will try to, or escape, rather flee deny than show up for the trial.

59 THE EIGHTH (8TH) K. When a person is found guilty of a crime, the Eighth Amendment protects him or her from punishment harsh that is too. It also bars high fines from being too.

60 THE EIGHTH (8TH) L. This amendment also forbids cruel and unusual punishments.

61 THE EIGHTH (8TH) M. Americans have long debated what punishments are cruel and unusual. Many agree that punishment should the crime committed. fit

62 THE EIGHTH (8TH) N. For example, a sentence of life imprisonment for stealing a loaf of bread would be too harsh.

63 THE EIGHTH (8TH) O. People disagree strongly, though, about whether the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment.

64 ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS

65 ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS A. When the Founders wrote the Bill of Rights, they remembered the events that had led to the Revolutionary War.

66 ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS B. They felt that certain actions taken by the British government were abuses of power.

67 ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS A.C. The Founders wanted to prevent the American government from taking such actions.

68 THE SECOND

70 THE SECOND (2ND) B. When the Second Amendment was written, a state s militia was made up of a small of people who served as soldiers army when needed.

71 THE SECOND (2ND) C. People have long debated what, rights exactly, this amendment protects.

72 THE SECOND (2ND) 2008 A.D. In the Supreme court commented on the Second Amendment. The Court stated that the Second Amendment means that individuals firearms have a constitutional right to keep in their homes for personal safety.

73 THE SECOND (2ND) A.E. Courts have generally ruled that the government can pass laws to gun ownership. control

74 THE SECOND (2ND) A.F. For example, federal and state governments can spell out who can have a license to own firearms.

79 THE SEVENTH

80 THE SEVENTH (7TH) A. The Seventh Amendment concerns civil court cases.

81 THE SEVENTH (7TH) B. Civil cases are lawsuits that arise when people s rights are in. conflict

82 THE SEVENTH (7TH) C. The amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial in most of these disputes heard in the federal courts.

83 THE SEVENTH (7TH) D. This guarantee specifically applies to disputes about property worth more than. $20

84 THE SEVENTH (7TH) E. Today, however, nearly all such disputes involve sums larger than $20. As a result, this requirement of the amendment is almost always met.

85 THE SEVENTH (7TH) F. The Seventh Amendment also sets separate roles for judges and juries in these cases.

86 THE SEVENTH (7TH) G. The judge has the duty to solve issues of. law.

87 THE SEVENTH (7TH) H. For example, a judge determines whether or not certain evidence is. permissible

92 THE NINTH

93 THE NINTH (9TH) A. The Ninth Amendment states that all other rights not spelled out in the Constitution are retained or kept, by the people.

94 THE NINTH (9TH) B. This amendment prevents the government from claiming that only the rights people have are those listed in the Bill of Rights.

95 THE NINTH (9TH) C. The Ninth Amendment makes it clear that citizens have other beyond rights those listed in the Constitution, and they may not be taken away.

96 THE TENTH

97 THE TENTH (10TH) A. The last amendment in the Bill of Rights did not add anything to the ratified Constitution.

98 THE TENTH (10TH) B. Instead, the Tenth Amendment recognizes that the power of the federal government is. limited

99 THE TENTH (10TH) C. The Tenth Amendment states that any powers the Constitution does not specifically give to the federal states government belong to the or the people.

100 THE TENTH (10TH) D. The amendment expresses the idea that the federal government is limited in. power

101 THE TENTH (10TH) E. In this way, the amendment is intended to prevent Congress and the president from strong becoming too.
