Question

How does the Bill of Rights ensure people's rights are protected if they are being arrested

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights

 

            During the ratification process, several state legislatures expressed concern over the lack of protection of individual liberties.  In response, the first Congress passed twelve amendments to the Constitution, ten of these which were ratified by the states and became known collectively as the Bill of Rights.

 

            Before describing the protections of the Bill of Rights, it is important to note that they originally were interpreted as restrictions only on the power of the federal government, and not the power of the states.  It was not until the twentieth century that the Supreme Court began to hold some of these rights enforceable against the states.
