Answer:

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A HISTORY LESSON RIGHT HERE AND NOW.

In the United States, the Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the Constitution. The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to provide specific freedoms to citizens and limit the power of the government.

When it's capitalized, the Bill of Rights refers to a specific statement of rights, like the one that precedes the US Constitution. With lower-case letters, a bill of rights is a more general formal statement of rights and freedoms for a group of people. The US Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791, and it guarantees — among many other things — the rights of free speech, freedom of religion, and trial by jury.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment II

A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

And so on. Please do tell me, what are your history teacher's teaching you?

How many amendments to the United States constitution have been repealed by other amendments?
o-na [289]
The only amendment that has been repealed is prohibition.

It was repealed because it was hugely unpopular, totally ineffective and a large factor in increasing the power of the Mafia in the USA.

It was passed in the first place because of misguided nonsense paraded by well-meaning moralistic busybodies.

<span>Sort of like the war on the (rest of) drugs .... except many of those are still illegal and they were not part of a constitutional amendment.</span>
