Answer 1

Hello, Lacuslays! Glad to answer this for you! This is what I think the answer is: The first national election occurred in 1789. Along with President Washington, voters elected a large number of supporters of the Constitution. In fact, almost half of the ninety-one members of the first Congress had helped to write or ratify the Constitution.

Not surprisingly, given Anti-Federalists' opposition to the strong new central government, only eight opponents of the Constitution were sent to the House of Representatives. Most Anti-Federalists concentrated their efforts in state politics.

If you looking for Bill of Rights Definition here it is: Def: These are the first ten amendments listed after the U.S. Constitution which states the rights and liberties of the people. Some amendments include the right to bear arms, and freedom of speech.

Sig: It lists fundamental rights that serve to protect citizens from infringement of the government.

Answer 2

5th amendment: you have the right to not answer any questions that might incriminate yourself
example: Miranda vs Arizona (Supreme Court case that lead to having your Miranda rights read to you when you are arrested) “there can be no doubt that the Fifth Amendment privilege is available outside of criminal court proceedings and serves to protect persons in all settings in which their freedom of action is curtailed in any significant way from being compelled to incriminate themselves.”
