Why or why not?" en-us 2017-05-01 14:20:08 UTC 2025-11-17 02:53:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417451 I think it should be more specific because the Bill Of Rights are the citizens rights, and when it comes to our rights, we should know the boundaries. We should be able to be told the full extent of the right, because then we would know what they exactly mean, and where it would become wrong past a certain point. ]]> 2017-05-02 13:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417451 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417535 I would rather it be more specific in some cases and more broad in others. For example, In the first amendment where it gives us the freedom of speech, it should be more specific in the means that what you say cannot harm or slander anyone. I think the need for statements to be broad is there though because of  things changing over time. ]]> 2017-05-02 13:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417535 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417583 There should be a generous mix of generalities and specifics depending on the issue being talked about to better set a clear understanding, while keeping things somewhat vague for limited interpretation]]> 2017-05-02 13:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417583 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417656 I think there needs to be some sort of balance between being specific or general. If it's too general, it could be interpreted in different ways, but it's also very flexible. If it's too specific, it may be easily understood, but it might be hard to apply it to various situations.]]> 2017-05-02 13:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417656 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417706 I think it should be more general because if people see too many restrictions, they won't want to follow them. But if some of the rights aren't specified, then people will take advantage of them.]]> 2017-05-02 13:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417706 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417750 I think it should be very specific so that there is no question as to what our rights are. ]]> 2017-05-02 13:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417750 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417844 i feel that it should be specific because then the people would know all the details of it.]]> 2017-05-02 13:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417844 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417871 I believe that it should be more specific. If it isn't specific people will take it a different way then what it is intended.]]> 2017-05-02 13:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417871 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417981 It should be more specific because the rights are for the citizens, and if they don't like the rules they might not follow them.]]> 2017-05-02 13:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169417981 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169418018 I would rather would be specific instead of more general because people have the right to know what the bill of rights is]]> 2017-05-02 13:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169418018 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169418251 In my opinion, it depends on the right that we are discussing. Some right should be strict to restrain people from making loopholes or cheating the system. i also think that some rights should be explained in a more broad way, because if it is explained too strictly, it is restrict's the citizen rights too an uncomfortable point.]]> 2017-05-02 13:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169418251 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169418256 I feel as though it should be more general than specific, because there is a broad range of topics that need to be covered. If it is more general, it could apply easier to various issues that are under a general topic rather than focusing on a single specific one that may change.]]> 2017-05-02 13:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169418256 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169418331 I'd prefer a specific set of rights. If a right can be interpreted multiple different ways, then it's possible they can be used in ways not intended and possibly wrong. We should know for certain what we can or can not do.]]> 2017-05-02 13:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169418331 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169419184 I think they should be very specific. Then there's no doubts about it. With a specific rule, people can't try to interpret in a different way. ]]> 2017-05-02 13:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169419184 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169419733 Be specific about issues because some people need that. ]]> 2017-05-02 13:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169419733 https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169419771 I believe that it really depends on the specific issues. If you make things too general, people can get away with things and stretch the rules. You also don't want to make it too specific, because that would be limiting our rights.]]> 2017-05-02 13:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jdefrain/2lkhruffgmvn/wish/169419771
