For this lesson we will be watching the video below and then answering the following questions. When we are done with the questions, we will list out the 10 amendments and what each one protects on the back.
1) Where did the ideas for changes to the Constitution come from? What kinds of changes were being suggested?
2) How did the Bill of Rights become part of the Constitution? Were all of the proposed changes accepted? How long did it take for them to be approved?
3) Which freedoms are protected by the Bill of Rights? Which ones do you use regularly or rarely?
4) When did the Bill of Rights become a more central part of how the Constitution is interpreted? Why?
5) How do citizens-not the government-use the Bill of Rights to define their freedoms?
