Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Constitution was based on the American Revolution and why American's revolted against Britain

1. One of the founding principles of the American constitution is the right to freedom of speech. This includes freedom of the press, religion, and speech.

2. The second amendment allowed for the right to own a firearm.

3. The third amendment allowed for citizens to refuse soldiers onto their property.

4. Police cannot search someone without a warrant.

5. The fifth amendment guarantees the right to remain silent amongst the accused

6. Allows for a speedy and public trial, as well as the right to an impartial, or fair jury.

7. The right to have a jury

8. This amendment forbids the use of cruel and unusual punishment

9. All rights that aren't listed in the constitution belong to the people, rather than the government. This was used to give states more power and to weaken the federal government.

10. Any powers that are not reserved by the government belong to the state.
