Bill of Rights Virtual Tour (STUDENT WORK SAMPLE) by Anna Blackwell https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc en-us 2022-05-29 02:40:06 UTC 2025-10-03 17:00:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4dc.png 5th amendment-Jordan Lake, North Carolina, USA annablackwell_ https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc/wish/2203226672 The 5th amendment includes multiple aspects to it but the part I am focusing on is where the government is not allowed to take property without compensation. 

The way that Jordan Lake relates to it is because of the town that was once under this lake. In the 1950s the government decided to take over land that was once used for farming and hunting and where people had lived for years, they decided to take the land to build a new dam that would later become Jordan Lake. The 5th amendment prohibits the government from taking land without compensation so the government had to compensate the people in this old town to make them move away.

I think that the 5th amendment relates to the Quartering Act during the road to revolution, this was where the colonists had to take care of British soldiers without compensation. This is not exactly the same as the 5th amendment but it still has to do with the government taking land. ]]> 2022-05-29 02:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc/wish/2203226672 10th amendment-Hillsborough, NC, USA annablackwell_ https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc/wish/2203226673 The 10th amendment states that any power not granted to the federal government belongs to the state or the people. 

The reason I chose Hillsborough is that in 1788 delegates met to ratify the new North Carolina federal constitution. The 10th amendment was created and helped the progress of federal vs state powers by allowing states to have their own power that is not given by the federal government, this new constitution gave the people in North Carolina more rights and more representation.

 The event that I think connects to the 10th amendment is the Intolerable Acts. I think this because during this time the British passed 4 or 5 acts that further controlled the colonists more than they did before. This amendment helped make sure something like this did not happen again with the federal government.]]> 2022-05-29 02:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc/wish/2203226673 1st Amendment - Pittsboro, NC, USA annablackwell_ https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc/wish/2203226674 The first amendment guarantees several rights; it gives us the right to express ideas through speech and/or the press, the right to assemble (to gather with a group of people in order to protest), and the right to ask the government to fix issues. The first amendment also protects the right to religious practices and/or beliefs - which in tales stops the government from creating/favoring a religion for any reason. 

I chose this area because it is right where the Pittsboro Historic Courthouse stands, which is also where a protest was taking place. This protest had both people in support and against the removal of a long-standing Confederate monument. “...the “Our Confederate Heroes” statue was taken down in November.” States ChapelBoro.com. This protest shows how people used their first amendment right to assemble in order to urge the government to fix an issue. 

While researching what document or person influenced the first amendment - what I seemed to find was that James Madison’s views on the topic were influenced by Thomas Jefferson. Loc.gov also says that the Virginia Declaration of Rights was used as a model for the first ten amendments.

The sixth amendment also states that witnesses must face the accused, and the accused is allowed their own witnesses - the accused is also to be represented by a lawyer. 

I chose this area because this is where the case of Klopfer Vs. North Carolina took place. Klopfer VS. North Carolina is a case that took place in 1966 where Peter H. Klopfer (who was arrested for criminal trespassing when he participated in a civil rights demonstration at a restaurant.) claimed that the decision of the Superior Court Judge was violating his sixth amendment right to a speedy trial.

It is said from my research that many rights given in the sixth amendment can be traced back to the English Bill of Rights.

This is to ensure the fairness of a trial and a fair punishment for the crime.


I chose this place because it is the jailhouse where they hold the convicted. I think that this represents how the government treats them and where those who are awaiting trial or to be transferred elsewhere stay here where they have to treat them fairly and their posted bail is a reasonable amount within the crime they committed.

This amendment from the research I have done on it originates from the Magna Carta. In the Magna Carta it restricts the King Power and causes him to treat them fairly and not take advantage of his power. In the 8th amendments case, the government is only allowed to punish and charge a fee that is necessary and can't abuse their power and treat you unfairly.

This means that whatever the government does not have power over, as long as it is legal the people have the right to do it. 

I chose this specific location event though thinking about a dollar store relating to the constitution seems silly it actually is a great example. At dollar tree everything is a dollar. There is still sales tax when you purchase it, but all items before you purchase it is a dollar. There are no price tags or signs that specifically say it is a dollar, but it is just an assumed or known fact that everything is a dollar. This is like the in the constitution because even though the Bill of Rights doesn't specifically say everything the people have the right to do, some things are just known or assumed.

This amendment comes from the enlightenment thinker Jean Jacques Rousseau. He believed the government was a contract between the people governed and the ones governing. The ninth amendment is a good representation of a contract because that is basically what the Constitution is. A contract and document of the rights of the people and the power of the government.]]> 2022-05-29 02:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc/wish/2203226677 4th Amendment- Millbrook Apartment Homes, Paces Forest Court, Raleigh, NC, USA annablackwell_ https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc/wish/2203226678 The fourth amendment states, "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." Meaning that your property is your own and the government is not allowed to search your property meaning cars, house, etc. without a warrant or probable cause. 


I chose this place because with apartment they are owned by the government or your landlord and if they have landlords' permission, they have the right to search it. If you own the property, then they aren't allowed to seize or search without your permission or a probable causes like crime or something. 


This amendment relates to the enlightenment thinker John Locke because he believed people should have life, liberty, and property including owning it. If someone tries to seize or search your private property, then that isn't fair to you and goes against the enlightenment thinkers' whole ideas. ]]> 2022-05-29 02:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc/wish/2203226678 Chatham County Courthouse, East Chatham Street, Pittsboro, NC, USA annablackwell_ https://padlet.com/annablackwell_/xhm8994z170hutgc/wish/2203226679 The Seventh Amendment gives the ability to a trial by jury to federal civil cases.
I chose this location because it is a courthouse and the 7th Amendment has to do with a trial by jury.
James Madison wrote the 7th Amendment because he was afraid that a second constitutional convention would be called if it was not added to the Bill of Rights.

Since this was a very broad amendment and applied to all landowners I choose to put the pin gesturing to the whole state.
The Third Amendment goes back to the Quartering Act when citizens under British rule were forced to house and provide for Britain's soldiers.

The location I choose was a gun store because it where one would go to buy firearms.
The Second Amendment was written by James Madison to give the citizens the means to overthrow a potentially tyrannical government.
