Rights and Protections under the Bill of Rights
Overview: The first ten amendments to the Constitution, known collectively as the Bill of Rights, were adopted to address concerns about the powers of the federal government and protect individual freedoms.
Key Amendments:
First Amendment: Protects freedoms of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition.
Fourth Amendment: Guards against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Fifth and Sixth Amendments: Provide rights related to criminal proceedings, including the right to a fair trial, the right against self-incrimination, and the right to counsel.
Eighth Amendment: Prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
Application: These rights are vital in limiting government power and protecting personal freedoms. Over time, many of these protections have been incorporated to apply to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause.
