Bill of Rights

Just because these rights are listed in the Constitution doesn't mean that you don't have other rights too.

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. The trial has to be public, so everyone knows what is happening. The case has to be decided by a jury of ordinary peo

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).

Congress can't make any law about your religion, or stop you from practicing your religion, or keep you from saying whatever you want, or publishing whatever you want (like in a newspaper or a book). And Congress can\'t stop you from meeting peacefu

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

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.

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 (like torture) even if you are convicted of a crime.

Anything that the Constitution doesn\'t say that Congress can do should be left up to the states, or to the people.
