Your rights are not dependant on the Constitution but predate it in Common Law.  The Constitution is specifically about creating a general government for the States.  \n\nThe Bill of rights is not a list of personal rights (refer to Article IX of the Amendments).  The first eight articles are statements excluding the federal (general) government from doing specific things.  The last two are declaratory statements of basic truths in part underscoring the fact that individual rights are to numerous too list.\n\nRead Thomas Jefferson’s Kentucky Resolution, preferably his first draft. \n\nBy the way the Constitution of the United States is not long, it is only seven Articles of which the longest only has 10 Sections.  It is written in clear, easy to understand English.

Rights of the people.

Start with the first amendment. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, assembly and petition.\nDo you belong to a religious minority? Write about how the bill of rights protects your freedom to worship the way you want.\nOr maybe you have an unpopular opinion. The first amendment protects your right to speak out.\n\nIf you have ever been in trouble with the law (or know someone who was), you can write about how the bill of rights protects people who are accused of a crime.\n\nI have been collecting signatures on a petition to bring the troops home recently, and it has been an interesting exercise in the first amendment. The right to question the government is the most fundamental of rights -- it underlies everything else.

The Constitution of the United States of America, states that the people have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.  It is a right added to be a stop gap measure for the people to protect themselves from a corrupt government intrusion.  Due to the fact that at the time the King of England forced the colony folks to house the British soldiers, and were not able to stop them from unreasonable searches or siezures.  Our founding fathers determined that this was a violation of man's basic freedoms.  Not to be usurped by wicked men.  The right to be free from harm or intrusion was based on the unalienable rights granted to mankind by God.  This was codified in the Constitution for our protection and for our benefit.  It is up to us who live by it, to make sure it stays in force!  When we choose to allow it to be usurped we have effctively let the documnent become nothing but words on paper that are useless.

1.What are civil liberties?\nIn general, the rights to freedom of thought, expression, and action, and the protection of these rights from government interference or restriction. Civil liberties are the hallmark of liberal, democratic “free” societies.\nThis comprised of two generally accepted meanings:\ncivil liberty has 2 meanings:\nOne's freedom to exercise one's rights as guaranteed under the laws of the country, and,\nFundamental individual right protected by law and expressed as immunity from unwarranted governmental interference\nThen there are those who view individual rights as inherent in the sovereignty of the individual and that those rights are constrained only to the extent that government needs to function.\n\n2) Do you believe in fair & equal justice for all?\nYes\n\n3) Why\nWe are talking here about fair and equal justice which to me mean under the law.  The application of the law must be blind to who it is applied to.  This is the reason that Lady Liberty holds the scales of justice while wearing a blindfold.\n\n4) What does the First Amendment say? \nThis cannot be answered in a single sentence because the first amendment covers multiple subjects.  If you are asking how the first amendment is written as the first ratified item of the United States Bill of Rights, it is:\n“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; of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”\n\n5) Have you ever exercised your First Amendment Rights?\nYes\n\n6) I am pretty vocal. Do you think I would exercise my First Amendment rights. Yes

We've been told that it's to protect us in case the government tries to get a little too tyrannical. I guess the Bill of Rights also protects us from ourselves and some extremely intolerant and conservative people out there. The original writers of the Constitution didn't care for a Bill of Rights, but they had to add it to please some states so the states would join the union.

I don't really understand the question.  As a citizen you have the rights of legal and political nature as guaranteed by the Constitution.

There is authority in the Bill of Rights to protect you from forced consent to certain things (search and seizure, quartering troops, etc).  But anything else is up for argument.

The 4th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States;\n\nThe right of the people to be secure in thier persons, house, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.\n\nThats how it reads, however it has been left to interpretation by any number of authorities. In my interpretation probable cause was required to obtain a warrant in order to search , not cause for search.......\n\nHowever there have been so many other changes to our Constitution that the original bill of rights is mostly just a memory, and has been used and abused by the crooked, the greedy and the power hungry for too long\n\nVOTE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION....\nso that "We the People" can retake our country and reinstate our freedoms\n\nPeace to all...now more than ever...

You just have to read each of the amendments, and do it yourself. Then look on line for summaries and explanations, (search "bill of rights", "US constitution")then just rephrase.

Civil Liberties pertain to protecting legally guaranteed activites such as Speech or Press, etc.\n\nCivil Rights pertain to claims of equal protection and due process of law, and equal access to society's opportunities and public facilities.\n\nCivil Liberties protect your claim to be different.\nCivil Rights protect your claim to be treated equally.\n\nIn the American Constitution, Civil Rights are found in the first nine amendments to the Constitution. Civil Liberties is largely contained in Amendments 14 & 15.

This right is protected by the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. \n\n"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

I believe that our Bill of Right defines all of this you are asking about. Now on the other hand if your engaged in any type of criminal behavior, all of that is out the window.
