27 Amendments Walkthrough | Constitution 101 

Such a good idea to reeducate our public. Should be mandatory for government officials

The 28th Amendment should be Congressional Term Limits for the House and Senate. You guys can hammer out the specifics, but I do think it is high time for this to change.

The 27th Amendment's story is awesome.

I’m not a US citizens but i love how straightforward and historical these amendments are! US has the best constitution in the world.

0:19 Article 5: Proposal and Ratification 0:24 Proposal 1:01 Ratification 1:39 Constitutional Reform: 4 periods Here are the 4 periods: 2:16 (A) FOUNDING ERA (1st period of reform) ⬇️ 2:24 Bill of Rights (under Founding Era) ⬇️ BILL OF RIGHTS = First 10 Ammendments 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 2:38 Rights of Conscience (1st Ammendment) 4:26 Military (2nd Ammendment): Safety of citizens and the right to keep arms. 4:57 Military (3rd Ammendment): Right to domicialiary military exclusion. 5:20 Privacy and Property (4th Ammendment): a) Right to be secure against unreasonable searches/seizures b) No warrant issue without probable cause 6:05 Privacy and Property (5th Ammendment): No taking of property without compensation 6:30 Fair Process, Jury Rights, Rights of the accused (5th Ammendment): (a) Right to remain silent (b) Right against self-incrimination (c) Right against double jeopardy (d) Right to grand-jury for capital crimes (e) Right to due process of law 7:20 Fair Process, Jury Rights, Rights of the accused (6th Ammendment): Pertains to crininal cases - (a) Right to jury (b) Right to counsel (c) Right to speedy and public trial (d) Right to be informed of accused trial (e) Right to compel & cross-examine witnesses 8:13 Fair Process, Jury Rights, Rights of the accused (7th Ammendment): Pertains to civil right to jury trial 8:30 Fair Process, Jury Rights, Rights of the accused (8th Ammendment): Protection against excessive punishment, trials and fines 8:56 Popular Soverignty Ammendments (9th Ammendment): Right to the recognition of God-given rights are more than can be written down. 09:51: Popular Soverignty Ammendments (10th Ammendment): There should be a balance of power between the people/state and the goverment. That concludes the first 10 ammendments 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

I get your videos randomly in my feed and I really enjoy the refresher from time to time. Well laid out for a swift explanation.

Awesome - thank you so much for the enlightenment and education.

This wonderful program on the teaching and this great message on each of the 27 amendments was very awesome indeed Sir!👌.

The story behind the 27th amendment is very fascinating and inspiring.

What an amazing and educational video, so many interesting history behind the supreme law of the land. Thank you for such eloquent explanation.

Bravo! It's so hard to pick a favorite, they're all awesome and have such great stories to tell about US!

Well explained! Really interesting the stories behind some of them!

Thank you very much. This is so helpful i really didn’t know all my rights as a US citizen. Thank you

You know what I like? I like that people feel the need to write down what was just heard in the vid, and because they wrote it in the comments, it gives that particular statement more validity than others...

Thank you. I really enjoyed this.

This is very informative...thank you for posting this

There are no "reasonable regulations" to the 2nd Amendment. "Shall not be infringed" is what is written

The first ammendment is the best... ... the 10th is the most underrated

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Thank you for breaking it down! Super helpful.

Excellent, engaging overview. I've been trying to read the Constitution on my own, but lack the context necessary for comprehension. Thank you for this.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Former AG Jeffrey Rosen.Thank you for honoring the J-6 committee invitation and your subsequent testimony before said committee and for honoring and supporting the constitution during that last loco month of Trump's term. You rule, dude!

Great video and I appreciate how you corrected yourself on secession versus succession

Thank you for this very interesting video. Unfortunately, I live in the U.K which is a monarchy, and we only have our famous 'unwritten constitution' i.e we don't have one. It seems like you guys are trailblazing democracy.

This is amzing content. Thanks 🙏

We need to be reminded what it is to be an AMERICAN. REGARDLESS of skin color!❤❤ Once we are AMERICANS WE MUST RISE TO WHAT OUR PRIVILEGED RIGHTS ARE‼️🙏🙏🕊❤️❤️🕊🙏🙏🇺🇸🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🕊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🕊🕊🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🕊🕊🕊❤️❤️❤️

5th amendment also protects against seized property from bring used against you in a court of law because it's considered self incrimination

i watch this video to study for my middle school test

Amendment 28 Any public official accepting bribes from lobbyist or buying stock shall be fined $100 million and life in prison.

Second amendment is not a military amendment. It’s a right of the citizens, not the military.

The thirteenth amendment abolished _non-penal_ slavery. In a hypothetical scenario where a state decides tomorrow to say that anyone convicted of selling more than ten grams of marijuana becomes a slave, not just in the sense of having work done in prisons be paid less than minimum wage but literally becomes property of whoever wins the bidding at an auction, the thirteenth amendment wouldn't stop it.

good educational law class about the constitution I have a bachelor's and master's degree in Criminal Justice

PLEASE TELL ME WHERE IT SAID WITH SOME REASONABLE REGULATIONS.. LIKE YOU SAID 👇 2nd amendment A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. ✌🇺🇸👍

"The emphasis has been taken from the Bill of Rights and placed on the interpretation of the Constitution that best suits the people in power."

So far the most interesting thing is the 9th Amendment. I couldn't remember what it was. It's not often discussed which given its intent makes sense.

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 offence 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.

Can Bill of rights can update with more modern language? What do we the people think?

Awesome. 😎

Great history lesson thank you

The US constitution was a blueprint of the Philippine constitution. During the commonwealth years, the US use the constitution to project the tenets of democracy in Asia in the past. The Philippines made different versions until the latest 1986 version. I believe the US constitution will prevail on the remaining commonwealth nation and US territories until they are granted/or the people of those territories decides for independence.

Wow great, thanks !

Thank you for the brief review today. Believe it or not, did have that DC could not vote in 1988, and that voting for President and VP were violated in 2020! And the, of course, US territories versus US states.

Even though I’ve learned about most of these amendments in history class it’s good to have a refresher. Great job

The Constitution, and Constitutional governance, are by their nature "conservative," as is life itself. That is, it is in accord with the Laws of Cause-and-Effect. At America's founding, it was established that we are a self-governing people, and that if we are to have a government (and human beings of necessity must have a government), that it must be by the CONSENT of the People, and that a commonly agreed-to and impartial structure of laws be the standard by which all citizens may live in harmony. Essentially, these are based on the principle of the "Golden Rule," that all citizens agree that we live by the same standard, and that we are free to live as our conscience dictates provided we do not infringe on our Creator-endowed rights among one other. If we presume to live under a "living" document, where it could mean anything anyone wanted it to mean at any time, as a "liberal" or "progressive" person would advocate, *it would then mean NOTHING.* The Constitution means what it says, when it was written and ratified by the States who brought it into being.

Great video

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

About the unsynchronized blinking...

amazing video!!

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

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 re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

I wonder what the next new Amendment will be

What happened to the 2A. 🤔

Why when you get to the 2nd amendment you talk about it for 38sec and move right along?

When I was a little boy they were trying to pass the ERA amendment. My male classmates told me if it passed, boys and girls would have to use the same bathroom. I was terrified. It was perhaps my first experience with propaganda.

Plea bargains are and should be recognized as unconstitutional.

The 18th Amendment huh? I'm drinking a Martini as I watch this.

Thank you

Section 1 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Section 2 Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

If the us constitution is such a perfect document, why does it need so many ammendments?

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Super well written and the visuals are very helpful. The delivery by Rosen was quite halting, which I found distracting, but I suffered through it. It seems as though he is uncomfortable on camera. I suggest they do away with the split screen and just have him, or someone else, read the text. (Don't use an AI voice!!! That's even more annoying!!!!!) It isn't necessary to see a person on screen anyway.

Thank you Patrick Mahomes for teaching me about my amendments

Garth to Wayne (pointing): "That weird eye."

Who made the Reconstruction without the personas juridical 😮wow

what you mean subject to reasonable regulations regarding the 2nd? Where does it say that?

The 16th amendment gives Congress the power, but in order that that power be exercised Congress needs to pass a law. Why haven't they? The commissioner of the internal revenue service wrote a "law" into its regulations. I'm sorry, does the internal revenue service legislate and make laws in this country? Why hasn't congress passed a law in order that it may exercise its power?

If you find this video triggering perhaps you need to move to a country that better fits your personal values. It is a straight forward overview of US Constitutional Amendments. 😅

This is great. So the first Amendment says RELIGION does not belong in government. Every Christian nationalist needs to listen to this.

SO WHAT DOES 1776 MEAN IN ALL THIS AS COMPARED TO 1791?

House house speaker when this happens 😮😂

SCROTUS has made clear that you can amend the thing 'til you can't see straight but they're gonna do whatever the hell they want and they HOPE you don't like it...

Why have you all waited so long for these vids

I think the states should ratified the title of nobility amendment today and make it the 28th amendment. This could be use to stop the Federal Reserve

Section 1 The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude- Section 2 The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Blew right through the second, like a good politician.

The 14th Amendment is also a protection from the law and by the law that everyone had the same rights as everyone else.. that said how are unconstitutional and illegal laws are passed to control the God-given rights of the people? And put people in jail for doing just that?

I would suggest Federalist that, instead of studying to abstraction "that RAG" (Patrick Henry, he KNEW what would happen, as it has!) that a most careful review of The Declaration be taken-up, as we're going to be needing it . . . SOON!!! (Of the Organic Law IT is supreme, the followers inferior.)

The tenth amendment has always fascinated me and it makes me wonder why we'd be so ok with the federal government still passing so many laws. Especially considering the supremacy clause exists. It would make more sense if the country was the size it was in the 18th century but it's not. I feel like the stregth of our country lies in State's rights and often passing broad, sweeping federal laws cannot possibly be good for everyone everywhere. Especially in our modern behemoth of a bureaucracy. I feel like we could much more efficiently and effectively govern ourselves on nuanced issues at a much smaller level. Sure, there's plenty of purpose in having a strong federal government but they've done more than enough damage in the last 100 years.

Section 1 The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed. Section 2 The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited. Section 3 This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

The 13th amendment does not abolish slavery. Here's the actual text of the amendment. Read it carefully, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

I watched this eagerly for the deep dive possible on the 14th, especially the 3rd paragraph. Nothing. Did not rate even being read out. Well done ignoring the less sexy bits like the one about insurrection and ineligibility. THIS is why no-one had a clue about 14.3 when you needed it most, during the 2nd impeachment, but it gets lost in all the backslapping. What else was left out of the other 26?

What are the other uses for guns?

14th Amendment. So a pregnant non-US citizen on vacation in the US, suddenly has a child on US soil, that child automatically becomes a US citizen?

A good number of the amendments were bad or poorly done.

Section 1 The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age. Section 2 The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Without us

Small note... You cannot plead the 5th. You can plead Guilty, Not Guilty, No Contest, ect but you can't plead the 5th. However, you can invoke your rights under the 5th amendment. My note really wouldn't change your right to remain silent, but it's a more proper way to express your desire than incorrect wordage

So much text dedicated to protecting individual rights. We can only keep them if we individually act responsibly. We are loosing our Individual rights because we are acting badly.

So in the very first statement of the video you mentioned that. State legislature can you call a convention for proposing amendments. My question to you is this where the filibuster would come into play? 56 years old and still learning politics can you believe it😂

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Petitions Where 😮

Why are we paying taxes if the gov cannot take anything that is ours? Sure the Gov says they use our tax $ for us, but then they are sending billions to other countries? How is this just? How is this right?

I've always wanted to hear the Amendments taught to me by Bert the Muppet

I think we can all agree its time to repeal the 16th

You would think some more amendments would be made since we have a pretty go A.I. now. Does A.I. get a pass? I think a A.I. lawyer would be awesome.... Trying to have A.I. Semi-Trucks driving right next to families. (Human lifes!) You would think we would create some amendments before allowing A.I. to physically function in are world. Would you not? -P.Nokes Good luck!

I always roll my eyes when people say freedom of speech doesnt allow you to falsely yell fire in a crowded theatre. I wish these people would tell me when and where that would have ever been legal at any time in U.S , that it would require a federal law. Just because congress cant make a law over something doesnt make it completely legal. That's what we have state and local legislatures for. Federal property causes a problem though, and it's never been address except by judicial activism which is a worse problem.

Section 1 The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax. Section 2 The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
