This week we will continue our investigation of the Bill of Rights. The first 10 amendments of the Constitution give us our most basic civil rights & we will discuss each of them in detail. We will also look at why these 10 were chosen & the importance of each. We will examine how they affect our lives on a daily basis, as well as how the Bill of Rights did not originally apply to all Americans; including women, African Americans, & Native Americans. We will investigate how people struggled to earn their civil rights, & how the Constitution has been amended over time to guarantee that all Americans have tose basic liberties. Students will also be given their first projects of the semester this week; details to come!
