Bill of Rights Scenarios
Directions: Read each scenario carefully. Under each scenario:
1) Identify which Amendment(s) applies
2) State if you think the scenario is Constitutional or not
3) Explain why you feel the way you do?
1. A group of people has formed outside of a Wal-Mart store on public sidewalks. These people are
carrying signs protesting Chinese imports. The crowd has chanted a slogan at patrons of the store, such
as, “made in the USA is what we say.” One patron yelled back and the protester threatened to harm the
patron.
2. Tom owns multiple guns: shotguns, rifles, and pistols. He uses most of them for hunting and home
security. A bill has just passed stating that citizens may not store handguns in their homes; they must
be kept at a secure weapons location, such as a shooting range. Government feels this will help reduce
the number of children shot in homes.
3. “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can be used against you in a court of law.”
4. A case has been brought before the Supreme Court regarding the nationalization of a religion. It has
been decided that since more than 90% of our country considers itself Christian, Christianity will be
the nationally recognized religion.
5. After Hurricane Sandy, the National Guard worked in New Jersey to clean up the area and rescue
people. The President has said that the soldiers may use the abandoned houses to live in while the
rescue efforts are being conducted.
6. Cops have entered your home with a search warrant looking for a stolen computer from Dr. Stiefel’s
office. While looking in your sock drawer, the cops find a number of pirated DVD’s. Can the police
arrest you for the DVD’s?
7. A suspected criminal has been tried for stealing a car. The jury decided that the person is not guilty. A
few months later the car is found in a lake nearby the suspect’s home with fingerprints on the steering
wheel, door handle, and keys. What can the prosecution do in this situation?
8. Anti-war critics have received thousands of signatures on a complaint that describes the president’s
failed policies regarding the war. The document was sent to Washington in hopes that it may influence
Congress or the president.
9. A doctor broke into a 7 – Eleven in Florida and shot the clerk before stealing the money from the
register. After the police caught the doctor he was put in prison by the state of Florida. The U.S.
government moved the suspect to a Virginia prison to be closer to Washington D.C. and has held the
suspect for two years without trial. What problems arise from this situation?
