Nineth and Tenth Amendments

Five ways that states look after the well being of their people are health care, police stations, fire stations, laws, and schooling.

There are some things that the state government shares with the federal government. Three of the things are that they can make new rules for the states, and they can also send people to jail. The last thing they have in common is that they both have fairly high leveled courts.

a. Issue a teaching license to someone who has applied and has met all the requirements

- I think that this one is the states responsibility, because the states have different ages to begin driving.

b. Make a treaty with a foreign country

- This one is the Federal Government's job. They are the one's who deal with the foreign countries.

c. Set health codes for restaurants

- This one is under the State Government because some states have a worse problem with this than other states.

d. Issue a marriage license

- This one is also under the State Government because some states have different rules about marriage that some states don't.

e. Declare war

- This one is defiantly under the Federal Government because once again, they are the ones who deal with the other countries.

Fifth Amendment -

Witness - Somebody that has seen someone do something, or something happen.

Indict -To bring a criminal to trial.

Testify - To give testimony under oath or solemn affirmation, usually in court.

Grand Jury - A jury, at common law, of 12 to 23 persons, designated to inquire into violations of the law in order to ascertain whether the evidence is sufficient to warrant trial.

Due Process - the administration of justice according to established rules and principles.

Capital Punishment - Punishment by death for a crime; death penalty.

Excessive - Going beyond the usual.

Bail - You can pay for someone to leave jail.

Peer - Property or money given as surety that a person released from custody will return at an appointed time.

I think that people who have committed crimes should be able to have these same rights because if they didn't have these rights then they could be proved guilty, but not really be guilty. I agree that everyone in this country deserves a fair trial, and that they should be able to have a say in what they are being tried for.

Fourth Amendment -

I think that the only time police should be able to search a house without a warrant, is if they are patrolling the neighborhood, and see someone suspicious go into a building. But I also think that they should have evidence that this house or person is guilty. They shouldn't be able to just walk into someone's house and say they can search the place.

Third Amendment -

I do not think that it is fair to force people to open their homes to soldiers during wartime, because for some people, the only way they can escape the war is to lock themselves into their own homes. If there was a soldier living in their house, then they would never get a break from the war.

Second Amendment -

The Second Amendment states that people can keep guns and other weapons in their homes for protection. In the past years this Amendment has created a controversy that has split the nation. Some people that support gun control are in hope of reducing violence among the nation. Those who oppose this Amendment, think that people should be able to own the kinds of guns they want.

First Amendment - Whats Protected? These are some of the things that I think!

These are the examples that I think that are protected by the First Amendment. I agree that you should be able to stand up in front of a group of people and give your opinions. Also I think that you should be able to circulate a petition against an unpopular law. Also I think that you should be able to post an opinion on a blog.

1. Give a speech before a large gathering of people and express opinions about the president's abilities. - This is protected because of the freedom of speech.

2. Circulate a petition calling for the repeal of an unpopular law. - This is protected of the freedom of petition.

3. Post your opinion on your blog about an issue being discussed at a local school board meeting. - This is protected because of the freedom of the press.
