TRUTH #245: THE FIFTH AMENDMENT HAS FIVE PARTSįurther to yesterday’s post, the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. #dailydoseofkelley #constitutionallaw #billofrights #secondamendment #progressnotpunishment If certain rights don’t exist, we become obsessed with enshrining them.
If we don’t like certain rights, we become anxious to curtail them. If we like certain rights, we seek to maintain their breadth. In Heller, the court wrote … “Constitutional rights are enshrined with the scope they were understood to have when the people adopted them.” _ (2022), affirmed Heller and clarified that this individual right applies to public spaces as well as private homes, but is subject to reasonable exceptions. In 2022, the SCOTUS ruling in New York State Rifle v. This has created a significant number of challenges in the gun control debate. 742 (2010), the high Court ruled that, in alignment with the incorporation doctrine referenced above, state and local governments are restricted in the same manner as the federal government with respect to infringing on the right to keep and bear arms. Various restrictions regarding possession of firearms by felons, mentally ill persons, and carrying dangerous and unusual weapons, among others, are permissible under the Heller ruling. 570 (2008), that the right to keep and bear arms belongs to individuals, for self-defense in the home, but that right is not unlimited. Most recently, the United States Supreme Court ruled in a case called District of Columbia v. William Blackstone, a famous legal leader of the 18th century described the right as an auxiliary one, necessary to support the “natural” rights of self-defense and resistance to oppression, and the “civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state.” There is MUCH written on this topic, as you can imagine, and the scope of 2A is the subject of considerable debate today. Our Second Amendment was largely influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689.

This has had an enormous impact on our understanding of rights. This process is called “incorporation,” meaning the protections from the federal government’s overreach were applied to, or "incorporated against" the states as well. This restriction did not apply to the states until 1868 when the 14th Amendment was ratified. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms.Īs with all of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, this means that the Federal government cannot pass any laws restricting this right.
