The Bill of Rights

By Jasmine Milligan

The amendment number one states

The right of freedom of speech can be used to create, express and be used for debates

The second amendment lets you get your gun

And for a militia to form to protect everyone

The third amendment lets you say no

To serving soldiers who are on the go

The fourth amendment says nobody can be searched without a warrant

Although FISA chooses to ignore it

The fifth amendment makes sure you can stay silent

You do not have to testify against yourself being violent

The sixth amendment guarantees a speedy quick trial

So less time in court with a fake smile

The Seventh Amendment gives a jury full of peers

Chosen from a pool of unwilling volunteers

The Eighth amendment makes sure no cruel or unusual punishments are given

Everyone deserves to be forgiven

The Ninth Amendment ensures there are many more rights that have yet to appear

There are more rights the government has to adhere

The Tenth Amendment says states can make their own laws

This makes the USA a federal jigsaw
