To bear arms (II)
Soldiers in peace time cannot be billeted without the consent of the property owner. In war, soldiers can be billeted, but it must be done in accordance with current laws (III)
Search and Seizure of any personal papers must be done in accordance with current laws (IV)
An answer that would incriminate someone of a major crime does not have to answer questions put before them that would result in incrimination. (V)
A defendant has the right to a quick and speedy trial. Right to be confronted by the accuser (VI)
The right to a trial by jury in civil matters that exceed $20 (just two or three Starbuck's coffees.) It sounds silly, but 20 dollars today buys a lot less than 20 dollars in the 1770s (VII)
Excessive Bail shall not be imposed (VIII)
There are other rights granted citizens in addition to the ones listed here (IX)
The rights that are not specifically assigned by the constitution to the federal government or the people shall be the right of the states. (X)
This is a bare bones outline. Knowing the Bill of Rights is a great gift granted to the people of the United States. It is a treasure that has worked. Every American should be proud of it.
