The policy of assimilating native american
indians under the dawes act (1887) was reversed
by 2oth-century legislation that
(1) gave native american indians greater control
over their own reservations
(2) relocate native american indians to
large cities
(3) broke up native american indian tribes by
giving each family its own land
(4) forced native american indian children to be
educated away from their families

the first 10 amendments to the u.s. constitution are known as the bill of rights. those 10 amendments establish the most basic freedoms for americans including the rights to worship how they want, speak how they want, and assembly and peaceably protest their government how they want. the amendments have also been subject to much interpretation since their adoption, particularly the right to carry a gun under the second amendment.

"a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference," said thomas jefferson, the author of the declaration of independence and the third president of the united states.
