The First Amendment protects several basic freedoms in the United States including freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, and the right to petition the government. It was part of the Bill of Rights that was added to the Constitution on December 15, 1791.

What are the five parts of the 1st Amendment? The five parts are freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom to peaceably assembly, and freedom to petition the government to correct problems.

The 45 words in the First Amendment guarantee five freedoms: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble and freedom to petition the government. But those constitutional guarantees are paper thin if not defended and championed by each generation.

The Second Amendment was part of the Bill of Rights that was added to the Constitution on December 15, 1791. This amendment protects the rights of citizens to “bear arms” or own weapons such as guns. They think this will help prevent shootings and keep criminals and mentally ill people from getting guns.

Overview. On June 26, 2008, in District of Columbia v. Heller (PDF), the United States Supreme Court issued its first decision since 1939 interpreting the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Such language has created considerable debate regarding the Amendment’s intended scope.

Rights and liberties protected in the Bill of Rights

Civil liberties are granted by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. For example, freedom of speech is a civil liberty.

: to encroach upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed — U.S. Constitution amend. II especially : to violate a holder’s rights under (a copyright, patent, trademark, or trade name)

The Bible is quite clear on the matter, and lays the foundation for the Second Amendment: “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free-state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” This is borne out in Holy Scripture.

Since the adoption of the constitution and the Bill of Rights, it has been amended 17 times to reflect changes to our society over the past 230 years.

Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, con- cealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues.

Most U.S. citizens have a Second Amendment right to own and carry firearms, but that doesn’t mean all gun control is unconstitutional. The meaning and scope of the Second Amendment has long been one of the most hotly contested constitutional issues in the United States.

California’s firearms laws are strict and federal laws are even stricter. If you are convicted of a felony or certain misdemeanors, you will lose your right to possess a gun in California.

According to Glenn, the state may “prohibit, on the part of minors, the exercise of any right, constitutional or otherwise, although in the case of adults it might only have the right to regulate and restrict such rights.” The assertion that minors have no constitutional rights is plainly wrong under modern precedent.

Ammunition (informally ammo) is the material fired, scattered, dropped or detonated from any weapon or weapon system. Ammunition is both expendable weapons (e.g., bombs, missiles, grenades, land mines) and the component parts of other weapons that create the effect on a target (e.g., bullets and warheads).
