What Does a Citizen Need to Know?
Two thirds of Americans do not know how many Senators represent each
State.
Three quarters of Americans cannot name the three branches of government.
Sandra Day O'Conner
Retired Supreme Court Justice
What should be on the Citizenship test?
Based on your reading/notes on the Declaration
of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill
of Rights write 20 questions you think all citizens
should be able to answer. Be ready to share.
Comparing Citizenship Tests
• Switch with a partner and take their test.
Write your answers on a separate sheet of
paper. Discuss.
• Now look at the actual questions asked of new
citizens on the handout. Why do you think
they ask these questions? Will knowing the
answers make an immigrant a better citizen?
• Which of our questions would be better?
Our Amendments

etc.
2nd Right to bear arms.

27th Salaries voted by Congress take effect
the following term.
Discuss: Which of the Amendments to the Constitution
do you think is the most important and why? How do
our opinions differ and why?
An Amendment in Action
The Fourth Amendment: The right to privacy
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.
Why is this amendment important? Does the right
to privacy give you the right to risk your own life?
http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2080345_2
080344_2080374,00.html
An Amendment in Action
Should there be a Federal law mandating all
motorcyclists to wear helmets?
• Does the 4th amendment apply to this law? Why?
• Who should have the power to legislate? States or
Federal government?
• Who pays for injuries?
Make a choice and defend it:
• There should be no law. It’s an individual choice.
• The states should decide.
• There should be a Federal law requiring helmets in all
states.
Who Wears a Helmet?
• In the 1970s, almost all
states had laws because
the Federal government
tied helmet laws to
funding for highways. But
in 1976, states lobbied to
remove the funding link.
• Today only 19 states and
the District of Columbia
have universal motorcycle
helmet laws.
