Editor's Notes

  1. Students should copy these distinctions in their notes in a side-by-side comparison.
  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYEfLm5dLMQ
  3. Discuss each of the rights with the students. Religion: Congress cannot establish an official religion or prohibit people from practicing their religion. Speech: is speech just the words that come out of your mouth? No. Speech includes messages on t-shirts, signs, or symbolic speech like wearing a certain color to represent something or wearing and armband as a form of peaceful protest. It can also include what you say on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media. Press: this includes publications like newspapers, magazines, items published on the internet, etc. Freedom of press is important because it allows media to report on news and keeps the government from becoming the main source of news. What would happen if the government was the only party that could provide the news? Assembly: This is the right of people to come together peaceably. This includes peaceful protests, religious services, civic meetings, and much more. Petition: To petition is to make a formal request of government. This right allows the people to make formal requests of government like petition for certain rights, lower taxes, or government services.
  4. Ask the students who is responsible for interpreting the meaning of the Constitution. The judicial branch. The second amednment has been the subject of many debates – did the Founders think just the militia should have arms? Did they think it was the right of all people? The court has determined in D.C. v. Heller. From the opinion: The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.
