This is just a tip: Do as much of your own work as possible. Also, when asking questions on Yahoo! Answers, break up your questions. This question would require about 27 sentences, a lot of work for people who are answering in their free time. A better way to do this would be to do as much as possible yourself and then only ask about what you don't know such as: Summarize the 9th and 23rd Amendments. You would be likely to get an answer for this.

What the heck? You lazy little twit! Do your own homework and maybe you will actually learn something so you can answer questions instead of ask them.

Why don't you try and lean something about our country. READ THEM! Unfortunately even you have rights just from being born here.

You have the right to do and say anything, but there will be consequences on some of the things you do and say.
