The Bill of Rights- our First Ten Amendments

They ensure our Rights and Freedom

Limiting the Control of our Government

Giving us Powers when we most need them

 

The First Amendment gives our rights

To Religion, Speech, and Press

Congress has no Right to Interfere

With what we want to Express

 

The Second Amendment Gives us our Guns

Our right to Keep and Bear Arms

It gives us the Protection that we Need

To Stay Away from Harm

 

The Third Amendment Keeps out the Soldiers

Out of our Homes they go

We no Longer have to Quarter our Enemies

We have the Right to say, “No”

 

The Fourth Amendment Protects us from the Unreasonable

Searching and Seizing of our Property

No more Issuing of Warrants without Reason

Or Just for Mere Curiosity

 

The Fifth Amendment Gives us Due Process of Law,

Freedom from Double Jeopardy, and Self-Incrimination

No Being Held for Crime Without Evidence

And, in court, no Self-Condemnation

 

The Bill of Rights- our First Ten Amendments

The key to America’s prosperity

Many Thanks to James Madison

You have left an unforgettable legacy
