Answer:

Hello Adam Here!!!

Explanation:

1. We would not have freedom of speech. In some nations, even in Europe people have been jailed for saying or even tweeting things that the government or authorities deemed distasteful in some manner.

2. Gun rights would be non-existent. Some would cheer this. The problem however is this means most if not all firearms would be in the hands of the government.

3. Say you own a home. Well, in times of crisis and conflict the government could put military personnel in your house if not for Amendment III.

4. Speaking of homes. What if the authorities could just come in and start searching around in your home and belongings just because they felt like it? No warrant and no probable cause? Amendment IV protects us from that.

5. Double jeopardy and due process. A citizen cannot be tried twice for the same offense (with very few and outstanding exceptions). Even if accused of a crime, a citizen cannot just be thrown in prison based simply on an accusation.

6. A citizen would not have the right to a speedy trial by an impartial jury. Imagine spending 5 years behind bars only to finally be plonked in front of a judge who determines your guilt or innocence.

Hope This Helps! From Adam

Name three reactions to the teachings of Jesus
Vilka [71]
1. Many people didn't believe Jesus was the Messiah. They scorned his teachings and thought he was crazy and blasphemous.

2. Others believed Jesus and followed his teachings, truly believing he was the Messiah. These were often poor people.

3. Public figures (such as teachers, government officials, etc.) feared Jesus because of his popularity. They did not want to be undermined by him and his teachings.
