If you're arrested, you have a right to have your trial pretty soon, and the government can't keep you in jail without trying you.

You don't have to let soldiers live in your house, except if there is a war, and even then only if Congress has passed a law about it.

Congress can't stop people from having and carrying weapons, because we need to be able to defend ourselves.

You don't have to say anything at your trial. Also, if the jury decides you are innocent, the government can't try again with another jury.

Nobody can search your body, or your house, or your papers and things, unless they can prove to a judge that they have a good reason to think you have committed a crime.

Congress can't stop you from practicing your religion, or keep you from saying or publishing information; Congress can't stop you from meeting peacefully for a demonstration.

The government can't make you pay more than is reasonable in bail or in fines, and the government can't order you to have cruel or unusual punishments.

You also have the right to a jury when it is a civil case (a law case between two people rather than between you and the government).
