Finally, end your paper with a solid conclusion paragraph to wrap up your entire paper.

The Bill of Rights are the First Ten Amendments included in our Constitution.
1) Always begin your papers with a solid introductory paragraph.
2) Explain why the Founding Fathers felt that we needed the Bill of Rights these to to ensure we had protection of our Civil Liberties.
3) In the readings, we see how the Courts have helped to interpret how the Bill of Rights have been expanded by the Fourteenth Amendment to apply to the states as well. Discuss how the Supreme Court did this by explaining Selective Incorporation. Include one case that illustrates how the Court expanded one of the Bill of Rights to the states. The book mentions several. Summarize the facts of the case and the ruling.
4) Once you have done this, explain some of the limitations placed on these rights by citing at least three instances where this has happened. This means finding three cases where the Bill of Rights protections have been limited. This can include the First Amendment liberties such as limitations on religion, speech, or assembly, or any of the other Bill of Rights. This should not be an occasion where the right was protected, but an instance where after Selective Incorporation the right was limited.
One of the earliest cases where the Supreme Court determined that the rights protected by the Bill of Rights were not limited to the federal government, but extended to the states. Often times students cite a case like Mapp v. Ohio, here the Supreme did apply Selective Incorporation, but this is an example where the right was protected. This assignment is asking that you find three cases where the Supreme Court has extended the right to the states, but in the particular cases you find, they state that the right is limited and not absolute so it does not protect the right.
There are plenty of examples of how no right is absolute. Here is one, but you cannot use this example in your paper:
Morse v. Frederick- here the Supreme Court found that Frederick’s right to Free Speech was not protected in this instance even though it generally is. You can review the facts and ruling by clicking on the link to the case. You need to find three cases like this. It can be on any of the Bill of Rights (First Ten Amendments). Some students err by citing cases that are strictly about the Fourteenth Amendment. You need to make sure that the issue at hand also addresses one of the Bill of Rights.
Find three of these examples and explain them as well as cite cases where the Court made these determinations. This part of the paper should be done in three separate paragraphs.
5) Discuss the Second Amendment and what rights the Courts have determined we have to Bear Arms. Cite at least one of the two seminal Supreme Court cases. Summarize the facts and the ruling.
Do you believe this right is absolute? Explain why or why not?
What changes do you see if any in the 2nd Amendment?
Finally, end your paper with a solid conclusion paragraph to wrap up your entire paper.
I will create a rubric that will guide you to write a thorough paper.
The rules: Remember, this needs to be a solid, thoughtful paper in order to even be considered for full credit. Students receiving full credit usually turn in papers of at least 5 or more pages. Have some fun with it, but remember this is an academic paper. No cussing or slang, use proper grammar and proof-read before sending, use the spell-checker, do not end a sentence with a question mark (you are supposed to answer questions, not ask them), et cetera.
Follow this formatting: Double Space, Times New Roman 12 point font, 1? margins, ideas should be separated into paragraphs, indent your paragraphs, include a lead or introductory paragraph, include a conclusion paragraph. Use APA or MLA when citing other works in your paper.
