is the bill of right still alive in America or is it dyeing?

Question

dose the bill of right mean any thing to you if so what dose it mean to you

Answer 1

Both sides of the fence agree that at least one or two amendments are being violated constantly in the United States.

The amendments most fought over would probably be the First Amendment (Right to free speech, freedom of religion, occasionally right to assemble), the Second Amendment (The extent of ownership of arms, and the regulation of such), the Fourth Amendment (Right to be free of unreasonable search and seizure), the Eighth Amendment (Right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment, most argued regarding the death penalty, the Supreme Court has ruled such a penalty is not excessively cruel or unusual), and the Tenth Amendment (Powers not mentioned in the Constitution are given to the states)

Personally, it's a deep document that every American should read and study. However, it is easily misinterpreted. My greatest grievance is the censorship of free speech, and the populist overtures by governments to censor that which offends people. This goes for many members of both parties.

Answer 2

The American Bill of Rights is very much alive and well. It's up to an activist America to continue to participate in the electoral process, and to protect any diminishing of those rights. We still have our basic rights of expression, to vote, worship, of protest, of privacy (even tho' some parts need to be challenged), and so forth. The Bill of Rights came from forefathers who knew the alternatives to a lack of freedom, where authority dictated to others how to believe in most matters of life and morality. It is the most essential part of our society that we have--our basic freedoms. We should do all we can to protect them, one election at a time.

Answer 3

The Bill of Rights is still respected in America but it has been regulated to protect the security of the country against terrorism.
