On Friday, we had a half day with the morning classes, so my class didn't get to have History class.
Today, we talked about the Bill of Rights. These rights were adopted because New York, Virginia, and Massachusetts wouldn't have ratified the Constitution otherwise. People are provided protection against the National Government's power by the Bill of Rights. The National Government's power is limited by the first ten (10) Amendments to the Constitution. These Amendments include rights such as having no national religion, freedom of speech and press, peaceful assembly, the right to a public and speedy trial, the right to a lawyer, as well as others. I think the right guaranteed in the Bill of Rights that is used the most by myself and other people in my life is the freedom of speech and press. This is used everyday in things like class discussions.
