The Constitution of the Untied States of America is a document containing laws, rights, and freedoms. There are 27 amendments in it. The first 10 are called The Bill of Rights, and was added later on. I was at school, looking on the laptops, when my teacher told us to visit iCivics.org. I went, and it's a really awesome site. I played a Constitutional game where you have to run a law firm. If you're interested, visit

I played it so many times, I started to memorize the amendments it taught me. So, here's a list of amendments:
Bill of Rights
Amendment 1: freedom of: press, assembly, religion, petition, and speech.
Amendment 2: right to bear arms
Amendment 3: not house soldiers
Amendment 4: no unreasonable searches
Amendment 5: no double jeopardy, keep private property
Amendment 6: speedy trial
Amendment 7: impartial jury
Amendment 8: no cruel and/or unusual punishment
Amendment 9: construction of Constitution
Amendment 10: powers of the states and people
I won't do the rest, but you get it, right? Here's a picture of the Constitution:
