This summary of the U.S. Bill of Rights was prepared for a guidebook about the United States for foreign tourists. Check the summary and the footnotes for the author’s bias. The U.S. Bill of Rights consists of 10 amendments that specify the fundamental rights of Americans. This summary includes rights listed in seven of those amendments. Rights Guaranteed by the Bill of Rights Individuals have freedom of religion, speech, the press, and assembly; they may petition the government for “redress of grievances.”1 Individuals have “the right to keep and bear arms.”2 Individuals cannot be forced to shelter troops in private homes during peacetime.3 An individual accused of a serious offense cannot be tried twice4 for the same crime or forced to testify when on trial. An individual accused of a crime must be given a speedy5 and public trial by an impartial jury with the assistance of a lawyer. An individual jailed for a crime cannot be subject to excessive bail, an excessive fine, or “cruel and unusual punishment.”6 The states or individuals retain powers not delegated7 to the federal government. Footnotes 1 This phrase is used in the original eighteenth-century document. To “redress” means to “set right.” 2 Lenient U.S. gun control laws are based on this phrase from the 2nd Amendment. 3 This amendment is reflective of a British practice during the colonial era. 4 This practice is referred to in the U.S. Constitution as “double jeopardy.” 5A trial in the United States may not be delayed by the government for months or years. 6 U.S. courts have ruled on the meaning of this phrase several times. 7 This amendment is indicative of the American system whereby powers are divided between the national government and the state governments. Of the 7 footnotes, only footnote ( ? )reveals evidence of the author’s bias.
