Constitutional Connection: "The Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms"
Explanation Of Connection: Should citizens have the right to keep a gun in the house for self defense?
While other people argue that this is a dangerous law, others in their opinion believe that having a gun in their house is good because they can feel protected against robbers.
This article clearly demonstrates the second amendment from the constitution. Citizens have the power to keep a gun in their own household as a self defense weapon. This article shows the many points of views to the constitution law. The right to bear arm is the power that is clearly noted in the U.S constitution, therefore it should not be taken away. Many disagree because of their safety so either this leading to the necessary for a new constitution or the law should be re-enforced.
I strongly agree with this United States Constitution law because people have the right to have safety in the their own own property (house). I found this article interesting because it showed me the many points of view towards this law, even though I may not agree with many people but I am certain that I would want to have a deadly weapon, which would protect me and keep me safe in my own house.

First Amendment-Freedom of Religion
Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/17/opinion/17tue2.html?_r=1&ref=freedom_of_religion
Constitutional Connection:
First Amendment-Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Explanation of Connection:
Obama approves that everyone in the country has the right to practice any religion they want to. Republicans are turning their backs on Barack Obama because of his opinions. Barack Obama, as the president of the United States, follows the rules and says that the constitution states that everyone has freedom of religion, which is why he is agreeing with the right to build the mosque.
This article clearly demonstrates the first amendment within the words. It is an example of the first amendment because it is talking about the freedom of religion and how the mosque should be built because it would be violating the rights that we are all given.
*Cough, Cough* In my opinion, I agree with Barack Obama. I believe that Obama was right to be on the side of the Islams because that is showing good leadership for us. Just because Islam dudes attacked us doesn't mean all Islams should be seen as terrorists. I think that anyone and everyone has the right to believe whatever they want, that's why it's called a free country, sorta... Ha-Ha.

Second First Amendment
sourte: Arizona Immigration Law (SB 1070) July 9, 2010http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/i/immigration-and-emigration/arizona-immigration-law-sb-1070/index.html?scp=1&sq=immigration%20marches&st=cse
Constitutional connection: First amendment "Freedom of speech"
Explanation Of Connection: Arizona has came up with a law stating that the all immigrants must carry there papers with them at all time. This law was constructed to take out illegal immigrants from the state and to prevent more from coming. Many people argue that this law can be an example of racism. Many protest and speak out against this law.
This article clearly demonstrates an example of freedom of speech. People have the right to speak out and do marches against what they believe in, in this article the people from Arizona march and express their feelings about the new immigration law. Freedom of speech is a right that the people have and should not be taken away.
I'm glad that our constitution has the law of freedom of speech because if it was not for that law, people would be afraid to speak out an to express their feelings. I don't agree with the Arizona immigration law and I too would go marching to protest, but if it was not for the first Amendment I wouldn't have the right to speak against the law.
