The bill of rights contained ten amendments to the u. s. constitution. only 17 more amendments have been added to the document since then, and of those, only a handful describe new "rights," despite dramatic changes in american society over the last 200 years. propose a new amendment for the constitution that establishes a critical "right" not currently protected by the document and explain why the "right" out to be protected.

Hey there!

Understanding what the question is asking:

We understand that the question is asking about that we would have to right or propose a new amendment for the Constitution that would describe or establish a critical 'right' that would not be currently protected by the document, which is the 'bill of rights'. And then, after analyzing this, we would have to consider why this is not being protected. Let's get started!

The first amendment that was not protect, was the following:  “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech.” answer.

How?

The reason why this is not protected is because the congress believed that protecting a law the is just a freedom of speech would not need to be protected. Which, in the case, I agree with this also.

But, just because the government can not a make a law about this, they can still handle consequence within court about this.

you so !

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
