On Friday we didn’t have history because of the half day.
Today in class we learned about The Bill of Rights. The Bills Of Rights were
created because states like New York, Virginia, and Massachusetts wouldn’t have
ratified the constitution without these rights. These amendments are supposed to limit the
power of the National Government. They also provided protection for the people
from the National Government. We received a “Hypothetical Case” which consisted
of a story and questions. The questions asked about what rights the people in
this “Hypothetical Case” had, pertaining to The Bill of Rights. Some of these amendments
included: No National Religion, Freedom of speech, Unreasonable searches,
cannot be charged twice with the same crime, and fair trial.
