Many people in the United States will say that they have rights, however, the majority of those people do not know what those rights are. Pick three rights guaranteed to you by the Bill of Rights and explain how they effect your life.

1. The First Amendment: This is the freedom of speech, without the freedom of speech we could not share our ideas or even ask for simple things! This is a very important amendment.

2. The Fourth Amendment: This states they have no right to search your house without purpose. This is important because many of us have private things that are not illegal, but would not want to share.

3. The Tenth Amendment: The government only has powers listed in the constitution. If the government had to much power they would most likely raised taxes a lot and do things for there own gain. This would be a major issue in America.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
