Slide 5

Come on friends, lets go find the perfect gift for my prince charming! Its his birthday next week and I need to get him a present as soon as possible! We cant go out and search for a gift until we find the amendments that Ursula has scattered across the ocean floor. Lets start looking! 5

Slide 6

Im going to put an article in the Daily Clam. Its going to be all about getting volunteers to help get the amendments back. Wait, wait, WAIT! You do not have the right to do that! Only the people that work for the newspaper can. 6

Slide 7

Actually Sebastian, Flounder does have this right. The first amendment explains the basic rights. You have the freedom of religion, speech, the press, to assemble in public places, and lastly, the right to disagree with the federal government and write them a letter of complaints. 7

Slide 8

Hey guys look! I found Amendments one and and! It says here in amendment 2 that people have the ability to keep weapons if they have a license. You also have the right to use these weapons in a militia. For example, the government allows my dad to keep a weapon by his side. 8

Slide 9

There it is! Now we have to find amendment three. When there is a time of no war, the government cant force citizens to let soldiers stay in any house without permission from the owner There it is! 9

Slide 10

My dad just told me he found amendment four in Ursulas home! It says that the government cant take away your right to be secure in your persons, houses, papers and effects. This means cops cannot search you without a good reason, to look through your belongings or home, and are only able to search you with a warrant. My father had a warrant from the government which allowed him to search her home, since she stole part of the constitution. 10

Slide 11

Ursula was accused of committing a crime and was brought to trial for stealing. Although she has committed a very serious crime, she has certain basic rights. These are stated in the fifth amendment. She also has the right to a fair trial which is stated in amendment six. 11

Slide 12

Guys look I found the fifth and sixth amendment! The fifth amendment says that criminals like Ursula cannot get in trouble for the same crime twice if they are found innocent the first time. They cant be forced to say something that could be held against them and cannot be put in jail or lose property unless it has to do with the crime they have committed. The sixth amendment states that citizens have the right to a speedy and public trial. They also have the right to a lawyer and to question witnesses in court. 12

Slide 13

Look over there! Its the seventh and eighth amendment. The seventh amendment is about Civil Case rights. Citizens have the right to request a jury trial when two people are discussing something of value. The minimum amount of value that you can sue someone was $20, but now people can sue for more. 13

Slide 14

The eighth amendment says that when a criminal is put in jail, the government cannot give excessive fine or punishments that may be cruel or unusual. 14

Slide 15

Ariel, There's the ninth amendment! It says that the government has to respect all of the citizens rights. Isnt there more to that amendment? Yes, Flounder youre right. Not only does the government have to respect your rights that are listed in the constitution, but they also have to respect the rights that are not listed. 15

Slide 16

The tenth amendment says that rules not named in the Constitution can be determined by states and their people, however the States cant make rules that go against the Constitution. For example, Ursula would never be able to make a rule that a crime such as stealing the amendments cannot be committed. 16

Slide 17

The eleventh amendment says that people cannot sue a state in the federal courts If they are a citizen of another state or country. So, under the sea it means that humans that do not belong in the water are not allowed to sue our federal courts. Look at Flounder! The tenth and eleventh amendments are right next to him. 17

Slide 18

Theres the twelfth Amendment! This amendment is the procedure for electing the vice president and the president. This provides the procedure of how the electoral college works. 18

Slide 19

The thirteenth amendment states that no one in America can own someone or be owned. Slave owners are not allowed in the U.S. This rule is the same under the sea. Fish do not have the right to own other fish and work them as slaves. 19

Slide 20

This amendment is about how blacks could not be citizens of the United States. The government also cannot deprive someone of life liberty or property without the due process of law. Guys look! Its the fourteenth amendment! 20

Slide 21

Look guys theres amendment fifteen! Flounder its right under your fins. The fifteenth amendment says that the states cannot take away an Americans voting rights based on their color, race, or a previous slave. Under the sea this means that our government cannot take away a fishs rights based on the color of their scaled, their race and if they were once owned by another fish. 21

Slide 22

Look up! Theres amendment sixteen! Were are very close to finding all of the amendments. Amendment sixteen states that congress has the power to collect taxes from U.S. citizens based on their income. For example, they collect taxes from my dad based on his 22

Slide 23

Now we need to find Amendment seventeen. This amendment means that members of the senate will be elected directly by the voters which are the citizens. Now we need to find Amendment seventeen. 23

Slide 24

I found Amendment seventeen and eighteen. The eighteenth Amendment says that the Making or selling of alcohol is now illegal in the U.S. It is also illegal under the sea. 24

Slide 25

In amendment nineteen, the government cannot deny the peoples right to vote based on their gender. This amendment gives women the right to vote. There it is! 25

Slide 26

The twentieth amendment tells the selected dates of when the president, vice president, and congress members end their terms and start them. The presidents and Vice presidents ends on January 20 th and the congress end on January 3 rd. Also if a president dies the vice president becomes the Theres the twentieth amendment! 26

Slide 27

Guys look! Theres the twenty-first amendment. Its over there next to the seahorse! Do you see it? This amendment makes it legal again to produce and sell liquor. This means that the 18 th amendment is now out of the constitution. 27

Slide 28

Amendment twenty-two states that presidents cannot be a President more than two times (only allowed two terms in office). Also no one who has worked for the President can be a President of America. My dad has already been a President under the sea for two years so now, he can no longer be president. I found Amendment twenty-two and twenty- three! 28

Slide 29

Amendment twenty-three Gives Washington D.C. (the capital of the nation, NOT a state) the power to vote for President. Under the sea, it gives our main shore the right to vote for the president too. 29

Slide 30

Look friends! Theres amendment twenty-four and twenty-five. Flounder, would you go and get them for me? Yes, of course I will Ariel. 30

Slide 31

Amendment twenty- four stated that citizens do not have to pay a tax to vote (poll tax). Amendment twenty-five tells under which conditions the Vice President should take over as President (or who should take place as the Vice President or President), in case of death or if he resigns (quits as president). Whenever there is no Vice President the President can elect one person and that person can take office if they get a majority vote from both houses. 31

Slide 32

Lets try looking at my castle for the last two amendments. Ursula could be trying to trick us. 32

Slide 33

I found the last two amendments. Amendment twenty-six says that people 18 or older can vote during the presidential elections. This means that all of us are allowed to vote. Amendment twenty-seven says people in the Congress cannot change the amount of money they are paid (senators and representatives) until the next time citizens 33

Slide 34

I got to find the perfect gift for my prince charming! 34
