Scenario 1: Amendment 4;
The right of the people to be secure in
their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated,...
The police can not do anything
until they convince a judge that they have probable cause, and then they can get
a warrant which gives them permission to search.
Scenario 2: Amendment 1;
Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people peaceably to
assemble,...
Scenario 3: Amendment 5;
...; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
The government cannot take away someone's
property without paying them for it in some way. If the state wanted to build a road right through someone's
yard they can't just do it, they have to pay the person for it, or compensate
them in some way.
Senario 4: Amendment 1;
Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...
Scenario 5: Amendment 5;
..., nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;...
Due Process is the procedure which makes
sure that everyone gets treated the same. No matter who someone is they should
be treated fairly by the police, the courts, and the government. Many cases are
dismissed because someone's due process rights are violated.
