American Studies - Understanding The Bill of Rights
The Bill of Rights in Today's World

Welcome
All Americans are promised certain civil liberties under the U.S. Constituion.  In particular, the Bill of Rights guarantees ten unalienable rights which no one can take away from you.  Do you know what your rights are?
 
 

Your Mission
After reviewing the basic rights promised to all Americans, you will be given a topic to research. 

1.  Identify which amendment(s) are in question.
2.  Use the Internet to gather information / articles / court cases and statistics about your topic.
3.  Prepare a position paper which states your team's position on the issue. 
4.  Your team will then prepare to debate an opposing team on the same issue.
