FIFTH AMENDMENT !!!


"No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."

Meaning: 
This amendment basically states that the government is forbidden to prosecute a person accused of a crime. This stops someone from testifying which can cause self incrimination. It also doesn't allow someone to have double jeopardy which means being charged for the same crime twice. In some instance, the government needs proof and evidence in a case and defendants do not have to help the government prove a case.




This video was quit simple and a little animated for ones visual pleasure. I chose this video because it gave you the needed information for understanding the fifth amendment; not too much and not too little.

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.

22nd amendment!!;) "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.' 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! I chose this picture because its interesting to see peoples opinions out of this amendment it shows that some people do not want a third term, they want someone new with new ideas. They are also insinuating that no one can have good ideas and get the interests of everyone forever, its almost as if we need new people to run up! ...

TWENTY-SEVENTH AMENDMENT:) " No law varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives shall take effect until an election of Representatives shall have intervened." Meaning: This amendment states that those in Congress can't themselves a pay raise this also deals with the decrease in pay wages. This image was kind of ironic because it shows that our economy is messed up in  so many ways and instead of them doing things to improve it they think of themselves and just want more money that could go towards something else. This does a pretty good job of explaining the 27th amendment for dummies!:)
