Helpful Hints
1. Do not quote any of these Amendments verbatim. It increases the amount of your paper that is comprised of quoted material and lessens the amount you actually write on your own. If you quote extensively, I won't know if you actually understand the material or are just good at cutting and pasting. Instead of quoting the amendments, spend you time in just explaining what rights each Amendment contains.
2. Don't just list the rights these Amendments contain; EXPLAIN them.
3. Do not discuss the Eighth Amendment here. It is not part of this assignment
4. In regards to the Fourteenth Amendment, all I am looking for is how this Amendment was used to incorporate the Bill of Rights so that they also apply to the states.
5. If you have questions, please ask me prior to submitting your paper.
