Vocabulary:

Help and Enrichment  A3 saw this today: A mnemonic a day keeps the memory in play! The first five amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America 1. One finger put it to your lips  -- Push it down.  You can speak!             freedom of speech (and religion and assembly and petition and press) 2. Two fingers --    in the shape of a gun --  the right to bear arms 3. Three fingers -- Two's company, three's a crowd.     I don't have to let soldiers come live in my house. 4.  Four Fingers as in the four walls of my house.  Stay out of the four walls of my house.  Even policemen have to have a warrant before they can come in and search my home  and/or seize my belongings.  5.  Put up five fingers and use them to cover your mouth. You do not have to incriminate yourself-- testify against yourself. A4 saw this today: The Bill of Rights  6-10    -- Amendments to the Constitution of the United States 6.   Six fingers  -- Hold out five, point at your wrist with the sixth, as if you are wearing a watch. -- the right to a speedy trial    7.  Hold up seven fingers and think of lucky seven!   What luck!  You get a trial by jury instead of having just a judge decide.      Imagine seven men in suits.  You have the right to a trial by jury when you are suing or being sued.  (Get it?  Suits?) 8.  Use your thumb and three fingers to form a "handcuff" around your opposite wrist -- with the five fingers on that hand out flat.  Now, picture a pair of handcuffs forming a letter eight.  Those handcuffs are so tight they form a letter eight. The eighth amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment and excessive bail -- like eight million dollars! Imagine 8 million dollars!  9.   Hold up nine fingers.  Pat your own chest. The German "Nein"  means "No!" Don't take away my rights. The government can't talk away individual rights  just because they aren't listed in the constitution. 10.  Hold up ten fingers.  Stop!  Just Stop.  "Stop" and "states"  both begin with "ST." The government can't take away a state's rights.
