The Chatham County Court House is a courthouse in Chatham County where you can appeal civil court cases. James Madison wrote this amendment to avoid a second Constitutional Convention, since people wanted a speedy civil trial in the Bill of Rights.]]> 2022-02-16 20:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2051868212 escrouch2_4 https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053333784 The tenth amendment is as follows: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This amendment comes from the fear of a strong federal government and the need for a safety net to prevent that from happening. These things are provided by this amendment because it ensures that the federal government is not granted any more power than what is expressly stated in the Constitution.]]> 2022-02-17 14:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053333784 willccar1_4 https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053339555 The ninth amendment guarantees that all powers not stated, but also not denied in the Constitution, belong to the States. In Griswold v. Connecticut the Supreme Court ruled that the ninth amendment protects the right of marital privacy. Planned Parenthood provides people with birth control, education, medical procedures and checkups, and more. The document that influenced this amendment the most, was the Federalist Papers. The founding fathers wanted to create a strong divide between Federal and state power but also wanted to make sure the Federal government did not become too powerful. The ninth amendment works as a safety net for the states. ]]> 2022-02-17 14:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053339555 willccar1_4 https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053356148 The 6th Amendment guarantees the right to a lawyer or legal representation in court. Atwater law firm makes money off of this, as they legally represent their clients in court. The founding fathers wanted the sixth amendment because of the human rights abuses of courts in England at the time.]]> 2022-02-17 14:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053356148 willccar1_4 https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053427186 The 2nd Amendment protects the right to bear arms. Without the Second Amendment, gun stores that sell to everyday people wouldn't exist. The Second Amendment drew influence from the English Bill of Rights. The English Bill of Rights under its Article VII, proclaims “that the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defense suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law.” ]]> 2022-02-17 15:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053427186 srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053450086 The fourth amendment protects from improper search and seizure and requires the police to have a warrant or probable cause. Brittany Taylor Allman was in a car with two friends and was stopped by the police. The police searched the car, and found 8.1 ounces of marijuana; they believed Allman was a drug dealer and searched his home (4844 Acres Drive, Wilmington). Allman went to court and used the fourth amendment against the evidence found at his house, stating that the police did not have a warrant or probable cause. The amendment was influenced by the Townshend Act which had allowed the British to seize any smuggled goods. The colonists did not want to have their property searched, or taken, without reason.]]> 2022-02-17 15:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053450086 srturner6_4 https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053456906 The eighth amendment guarantees no cruel or unusual punishment. The Chatham County Detention Center holds a maximum of 2000 inmates; it prioritizes the safety of its inmates. The eighth amendment was very heavily influenced by the English Bill of Rights. The English Bill of Rights guaranteed individual rights to its citizens which the Bill of Rights works to do as well. This is important because people want to make sure that judges are setting fair bail and punishments proportional to the crime committed. ]]> 2022-02-17 15:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053456906 lcmartin9_4 https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053463658 According to the third amendment, the government cannot use the private property of citizens without their consent. This was formed because, at the time of the Bill of Rights' creation, the United Kingdom was forcing American colonists to house and take care of their soldiers, much to their annoyance. The Americans wanted to make sure that in their new government, this would not happen again.]]> 2022-02-17 15:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053463658 escrouch2_4 https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053493306 The First Amendment guarantees the freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. This place is where the Greensboro Sit-in occurred, on February 1, 1960. This event was when four African American students refused to give their seats to white citizens at a whites-only bar. This is the location the bar was located before it was moved to the National Museum of Natural History to retain it's historical value. Voltaire is an Enlightenment thinker that believes in freedom of speech and religion, which ties into the First Amendment rights.]]> 2022-02-17 15:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053493306 lcmartin9_4 https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053541855 The Fifth Amendment protects citizens from being forced to self-incriminate in court, guarantees the right to a grand jury, and prevents double jeopardy (where a citizen goes to trial for the same crime twice). This amendment was created because the British government unfairly tried colonists across the water in these ways that they now seek to prevent.]]> 2022-02-17 16:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/willccar1_4/5k953ov7az6u8wd0/wish/2053541855
