#14. <-- I thought it was the third amendment because for some bizarre reason I thought the first was about free speech.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThe First Amendment has more than two things. It covers freedom of religion, speech, press and assembly. And it isn't alone. For instance, the Fifth covers the need for Grand Jury indictments for capital and infamous crimes, double jeopardy, self-incrimination, due process and compensation for the taking of property by the government."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

In 9th grade my Civics teacher got mad at he class and required us to memorize all of the Constitutional Amendments in order. I handed in the list a few minutes later[1] and spent the rest of the week doodling and doing homework for other classes. Last year a friend of mine's son was having trouble in his U.S. History class and I discovered that I couldn't remember three of them and got the order of two mixed up.
1. I think this had a lot to do with spending 1st through part of 8th grade just outside of Washington D.C. where everything was government. If you got a word question in math it had to do with appropriations. If you diagramed a sentence in English it was usually something from the Constitution or Declaration of Independence.
