    Bill of Rights Scenarios

    Directions: Create a hypothetical scenario regarding civil


    liberties. Your scenario should be clearly tied to one of the
    amendments found in the Bill of Rights. You must also
    1. Examine the amendment, the scenario involves the
    violation of one of the rights found in 1st ten amendments.
    2. List which of the required Supreme Court cases that
    relates to your case
    3. Clarify which amendment applies to this case
    4. Finally, put a link to a different case that deals with the
    same constitutional issue.

    ● Fictional Scenario:
    Create a fake example of a legal case that would
    include one of the first ten amendments. We will
    create an example in class.

    these cases. Please use different cases for all 5
    examples.

    Directions: Students will create an additional


    video/presentation or write paragraph that analyzes
    why it's important for the average citizen to be aware
    and informed of all of these cases and the
    amendments they are tied to. Present an argument as to
    why one of the Supreme Court cases discussed in class
    should have been decided in favor of the losing side.
    Questions to consider:
    ● What are the benefits of knowing your rights?
    ● What are the benefits of being familiar with these
    Supreme Court cases?
    ● How do you see yourself finding use of this
    information?

    For advanced (required):


    ● Which case are you going to analyze?
    ● Why should the case have sided in favor of the
    loser?
    ● How might this case have been different if it
    happened with the current Supreme Court? (6-3
    Republican- Democrat).

    Please provide a link to your presentation or video here:
