From memory:\n\n[I] Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof; nor shall congress impose any restraints on speech, nor of the press, nor of the people to peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances.\n\n[II] A well regulated militia being necessary for the defense of the state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.\n\n[III] No troops shall be quartered in private homes during time of peace, without consent of the owner, nor during time of war except as may be prescribed by law.\n\n[IV] The right of the people to be secure in their persons, homes, documents and effects shall not be infringed; and no warrant shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the places to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.\n\nI know that the 5th Amendment includes the right against self-incrimination, against government taking without just compensation, the due process clause, plus a couple other protections I can't remember right now. The 6th guarantees right to a speedy and public trial, right to a jury in criminal trials, and right to counsel in criminal trials. The 7th includes right to a jury in civil trials over a certain amount. The 8th includes the prohibition against excessive bail, and against torture.\n\n[IX] The enumeration of certain rights herein shall not be construed to deny or disparage other rights retained by the people.\n\n[X] Any powers not expressly granted to the federal government, nor prohibited to the states, shall be reserved  for the states and for the people.\n\nThat's it from memory. Then I looked it up. I got some detail wording wrong on all of them, forgot that the prohibition in 4 is only against unreasonable searches, missed the grand jury and double jeopardy clauses of the 5th, the confrontation and notice clauses of the 6th, and it's "cruel and unusual punishment" for the 8th. Oh well, back to studying.

Amendment XXII \n(Ratified in 1951.) \n\nSection 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term. \n\nSection 2. This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress

It's covered in article five of the Constitution.  An amendment can be approved by a 2/3 majority of both the house and senate.  The second way is that the 2/3 of the states can call a constitutional conventions, and the proposed amendment much be approved by the legislatures of 3/4 of the states.\n\nBy the way, I was glad to have a chance to look up an answer from the Constitution.  It was good practice.

SEVENTH AMENDMENT\n"In Suits at common law," - this phrase usually means actions in common law, which are usually things like lawsuits for money or old English actions that we'd consider "law."  It comes in the form of an order from the court.  This is opposed to "equity," which includes things like an injunction or a constructive trust, some kind of alternative remedy from the court.  (This is a difficult legal area, since in the United States law and equity were merged in the 1930s.  They're still distinct in the 7th Amendment.)\n\n"where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars," - a minimal threshold amount that is almost meaningless today, but still applies.\n\n"the right of trial by jury shall be preserved," - this applies ONLY to the federal government and has NEVER been yet incorporated against the states.  So, if you have an action at common law (not in equity) greater than $20 in federal court, you are guaranteed a jury.\n\n"and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law." - the jury is the final fact-finder, and a judge or some other court cannot change the jury's verdict.  The only exceptions are the old historical allowances from "the common law," which are complex and relatively rare.\n\nIn simpler layman's terms, for most civil cases (someone suing someone else), a jury trial is guaranteed if wanted, and the findings of the jury can rarely be overturned\n\nNINTH AMENDMENT\n"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." - when James Madison urged for ratifying the Constitution WITHOUT a Bill of Rights, he was concerned that a Bill of Rights might harm freedom.  The Constitution was one of "enumerated powers, where government could only do what the Constitution says it can (for example, the Constitution lets the government raise an army in Article I section 8, but it does not let the government regulate guns in schools).  Madison thought listing rights might make the government act like it could do ANYTHING EXCEPT what those rights were (for example, government could control EVERYTHING, as long as it didn't harm the freedom of speech and other listed freedoms).\n\nThe Bill of Rights listed rights of the people, but the 9th Amendment was meant to ensure that the Constitution still remained one of enumerated powers.  The fact that a bunch of rights were listed didn't mean that government could do anything.  Government was still restrained by what the Constitution allowed it to do.  The Bill of Rights, though, was an extra level of protection for individuals.\n\nEDIT: While Justice Goldberg in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) made the argument that the 9th Amendment contained the right to privacy, this argument has been universally rejected by the Court.  In Roe v. Wade (1973), the majority of the court found that the right to privacy was found in the Liberty Clause of the 14th Amendment.  No one today accepts Justice Goldberg's argument regarding the 9th Amendment.

The text of this important and historic amendment to the U.S. Constitution has already been identified in previous posts, however the reasoning and legislative history has not.\n\nIt was ratified on February 3, 1870.\n\nThis amendment prohibits the states or the federal government from using a citizen's race, color, or previous status as a slave as a voting qualification. Its basic purpose was to enfranchise former slaves. But it was not really until the Voting Rights Act in 1965, almost a century later, that this purpose was actually achieved in all states.\n\nAfter the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment, southern blacks voted in numbers that on a per capita basis would probably exceed black political participation today. On both a per capita and absolute basis, more blacks were elected to political office during the period from 1865 to 1880 than at any other time in American history. Although no state elected a black governor during Reconstruction, a number of state legislatures were effectively under the control of a substantial African American caucus. These legislatures brought in programs that are considered part of government's duty now, but at the time were radical, such as universal public education. They also set aside all racially biased laws, even those prohibiting interracial marriage.

Extending the vote to black people-15th amendment\nExtending the vote to women-19th amendment\nNo poll tax-that was used to keep poor blacks from voting-24th amendment\nLowered voting age from 21 to 18-26th amendment.\n\nJudicial review is the power of the courts to interpret the laws as passed by the legislature and signed into law by the executive. Chief Justice Marshall extended that, giving the Supreme Court the right to declare laws unconstitutional
