The Bill of Rights...
Fantastic Document. You are an American, right? Well, the Bill of Rights gives you freedoms that you may take for granted. Obviously, the first amendment is the most important. This gives us the freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. The first amendment is one that everyone can relate to. Do you think their would be newspapers and magazines without 1st amendment rights? What about debates and other speeches? What about music concerts? I find it fascinating that people in other countries are told which religion to practice. The US government can never tell you if you should practice Christianity, Judaism or any other religion. In fact, you could decide to switch tomorrow. Maybe you want to be a Buddhist? Thats fine. If you want to have a gathering to discuss anything, you can. Your teacher used the Pledge of allegiance because it was the easiest thing to relate to, but not the best example. For papers like this, you can pretty much state your opinion, as long as you can support it with details. Dont forget that the "law" amendments are included in the Bill of Rights. For example... you have the right to remain silent, anything that you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.... 5th Amendment! You dont have to say anything that could incriminate you. That can be related to your life, Im sure. Too bad you cant get creative, and just write...As an American, I believe I have the freedom not to write this paper. hahahaha. Best of luck, write me if you need more help! :)

Well, I just took an American Government class and we had to do a project similar to yours.
I think what your teacher wants you to do (though I'm not positive as I am NOT the teacher), is pick an amendment and then relate to it, using an example. Like the one he used, was that student's First Amendment rights say they have freedom of speech. This means that they shouldn't have to SAY the pledge because of the freedom of SPEECH. Get it? I mean, that's what I'm seeing it as.
One idea my group had for our project was:
- Newspapers in schools should not be filtered, because of the First Amendment (Freedom of speech, religion, and press)
Then we used cases that relate to it. I knew of a really good one but the name escapes me. I'm sure you could find examples on Google, though.
Or you can do something like, people should not be able to own guns (Second amendment) because of the misuse of guns. Then use examples, perhaps, of people who were shot wrongfully.
Your best bet if you still don't understand, though, is to ask your teacher. Just go in one day before class and ask him if he can better explain what he wants you to do and maybe help get you started.
Good Luck && Hope this helps =]
