The Bill of Rights was passed by congress on September 25, 1789 and was ratified on December 15 , 1791. James Madison and George Manson contributed to the bill rights. In the website, “Bill of Rights Institute,” the “Bill of Rights of The United States of America (1791)” explains the history of the Bill of Rights. At first 17 amendments were agreed on at the house but only 12 out of those 17 were approved. From there , only 10 were passed after being sent to the rest of the states.
I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with the author. America has basically been doomed from the start. When the 2nd amendment was created James Madison probably didn't think that 100s of year later citizens would use it for as an excuse for mass murders across the country. The amendment will not be nullified anytime in the near future because most states wouldn't support this decision. Most citizens own a gun either legally or illegally for protection.
Today, it’s hard to imagine the U.S. Constitution without the Bill of Rights. However, when the founding fathers we’re drafting the Constitution they didn’t feel the first ten amendments were necessary. The three men that believed these amendments should be included were, George Mason, Elbridge Gerry, and Edmund Randolph (4). James Madison was responsible for drafting the document and came up with seventeen sections (4). This number then got reduced to twelve, but only ten of those twelve were ratified.
Rule: The Court held 5-4 that no the First Amendment does not prevent educators from suppressing, at or across the street from a school-supervised event, student speech that is reasonably viewed as promoting
When a car crash occurs it is almost certain that the person behind the wheel is put to blame, and not the vehicle itself, how is it that when a firearm is used good or bad it is the gun that is put to blame and not the person behind the trigger? The second amendment states that we as US citizens are guaranteed the right to a, “well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The first piece allows for citizens to bear arms out of the possibility that the government may need to be kept in check. The second piece that is not as obvious is the need to bear arms out of protection for the life of oneself, those that we care about, our homes, and our liberties. There are many that want more laws to prevent responsible citizens from owning guns.
Schnayerson Steel Prof, Weatherill ENG 102 6 March 2023 1984 and Constitutional Rights The second amendment provides Americans with the right keep and bear arms and form a well-regulated militia. Forming a militia could provide the proles and Winson with a place to stay safe to an extent since this could also put them in danger, this is how it reads in the constitution, “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state. ” The right to keep and bear arms is to have a gun and to be allowed to carry it, this is how it reads in the constitution, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” The second amendment of the United States Bill of Rights is the most beneficial amendment to the people
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”(Strasser). According to Farlex dictionary firearms played an important part in the colonization of America. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, European colonists relied heavily on firearms to take land away from Native Americans and repel attacks by Native Americans and Europeans. Around the time of the Revolutionary War, male citizens were required to own firearms for fighting against the British forces.
The second amendment states that well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. This amendment has brought upon debates for control. For many the gun symbolizes crimes, sexual frustration, aggression, violence, and all that is wrong in American culture. For others it symbolizes, manliness, independence, outdoorsmanship, and willingness to die for one's believe (La valle). The debate over Gun Control has peaked in recent years due to societies opposing conflict and a lack of compromise.
In recent events, two opposing sides have risen to debate whether the Second Amendment, which gives the right to a U.S. citizen to own a firearm, should be kept intact or removed from the Constitution completely. The feud described in Romeo and Juliet compares to this argument because although they are fairly different both sides of each argument rae supported by motivation from each parties Romeo and Juliet’s motivation was their love for eachother. The US citizens believed guns are needed to protection of intruders. After the recent and tragic school shooting taken place in Parkland, Florida the people of the United States are crying for change that will keep the students of this country safe. However, the opposing side argues that the
The Second Amendment (in the constitution) is one that can bring up hours and hours of debate, maybe the most of them all. These debates, unfortunately, will never come to an end because there will be know agreeance in what would be done. In my opinion, what is trying to be done right now is not going to work, the politicians in office right now want to stop the weapons and not the perpetrators. Every time there is a mass shooting/bombing the idea of gun control comes up and it is not going to get us as a nation anywhere because that is not the issue. We know who is doing these mass murders such as the Boston bombings, Paris attacks, San Bernadino shooting, and Brussels attack that happen just this morning, stricter gun laws would not have
The different viewpoints of the Second Amendment are as confusing as the combination of ice cream and pickles. While the authors of the Bill of Rights maintained the amendments to clearly define the rights of the American people, the description of the Second Amendment has been under speculation for several decades, likely since the amendment was written. Americans have repeatedly questioned the meaning of the amendment’s vocabulary and grammar structure. Challenges have appeared numerous times to the involvement of the government’s power over the Second Amendment. The amendment’s application in different situations has also been examined.
Canada Are we sacrificing free speech for others protection? Freedom of speech in Canada is not absolute like for an example in America. Canada has always had a few rules to limit the grotesqueness of some of their books that were published in the past and present. I might not be a fan of restriction of speech whatever form it takes, but i can see what they are trying to do by creating a safer environment for the citizens they have and so on so forth.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized". The 4th amendment was made based on the Founding Fathers ' experience with the Kings agents and the all purpose writ of assistances that they used abusively. Without the 4th amendment, we would be at the mercy of the police because they could come into our household, search anything and take whatever they want. "A reasonable expatiation of privacy" the 4th amendment secures the protection of the
How does gun safety affect children under 10? The Eddie Eagle program is a gun safety program from kindergarten to 4th grade and teaches children what to do if they ever encounter a firearm of some sort. Fatality rates in the United States have declined 65% after the Eddie Eagle Program. The impact when a child sees gun or firearm being shot near a close proximity of him or her can be devastating or in some cases scar them for life.
In the law everyone is protected to have a “reasonable expectation of privacy” which makes it so high authority can’t search the person when or wherever they wish too. Over the years the fourth amendment has been looked at but not overly looked into. The fourth amendment in school has been tried many times over the years. School privacy has many different ways they go about it, but the most common for courts to decides it whether it was a reasonable search and seizure or an unreasonable search and seizure. “To make successful claims for protection under the Fourth Amendment for nonphysical invasion, individual must have genuine beliefs not only that they have expectations of privacy but also that these expectations are reasonable in the
