13th Amendment:))


"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Meaning:
The amendment in simpler terms means no one in the United States can be a slave unless for punishment with the jails for community service.

AMENDMENT VII " In suits at common law , where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved , and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of the common law." Meaning: This amendment  basically protects citizens as well as ensuring that citizens have the right to have a courtroom whether is a common law or civil law court. This amendment also states that to sue someone it has to be 20.00 or more in the Unites States courtroom. This picture was quit funny and summed up a part of the 7th amendment stating that to sue it has to be 20.00! I think this is funny and understandably for kids.

Meaning: This amendment just states the amount of terms our president can have as well as our vice president, they created this amendment to prevent having just one ruler like a king or queen. This picture was humorous it shows uncle Sam with a watch letting our presidents know that time is up for their term!

AMENDMENT IX!!! The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Meaning: This amendment states and notifies people that there are other rights that doe exists from ones that are mentioned more explicitly, and even though these hidden laws are not listed does not mean that they are to be violated because they are laws and rights given to the people. In other words, doesn't mean its not listed doesn't been its not a law or right, sometimes you have to read between the lines. T his picture was interesting and shows that even though something doesn't directly say something doesn't mean you can't do it. This was a great example of the 9th amendment in my opinion.
