HEL PLEAS I NEED THIS ASAP By now, you should be able to identify the background and purpose of the Bill of Rights and explain why it is still important today. Without it, Americans would not be free to speak, worship, or do many other things. When the first Congress of the United States wrote these 10 amendments to the Constitution, they set the ground rules for many of the freedoms that American people continue to enjoy. Other amendments to the Constitution have been added over the years. The newest amendments provide more rights to citizens and set up rules that the government must follow.

In a recent poll, less than 10 percent of American adults knew why the Bill of Rights was written! Something must be done to inform people, and you are just the person to do it. You will take on the role of someone who has recently been granted U. S. citizenship. Use your imagination to create your own name and story.

As a new citizen, you are excited about the freedoms and rights that your new government protects. You would like to help other citizens, including immigrants like you, understand what these rights mean.
