OK..No textbook and I hate history. DD has tried to do them all and she can't find them and now I am trying to help. I sent her to bed. So...

Bill of Rights....

#1 Rhode Island approved the Constitution after the government _ _ _ a _ work.

#2 Two freedons in the Bill of Rights: Press, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (gathering). (assembling ~thanks SG)

(first letter in #2 is the same letter as 4th letter in #1)

#3 The _ _ a _ _ _ approved ten of the 12 proposed amendments. (states ~ thanks cm)

#4 A freedom in the BIll of Rights: _ e _ _ _ _ _ _ (ask for help). (petition ~ thanks sg)

#5 9th amendment: The citizens have more rights than the BIll of Rights _ _ _ l _ _ e _ (adds)

#6 Constitution: To become law, it needed (ratification). THanks SG!

#6 ratification

Ok...Here's another one...

Vacancy: Governor can appoint replacement or call a special _ _ e _ _ _ _ _ (8 letters) Election ~ Thanks SG!

Vacancy....special election

#2 possibly Assembling

Here's some more for you Constitution buffs!

A state governor can demand the _e_u_ _ of an accused person to his state. (return) Thanks SG!

The United States _ ua_a_ _ee_ that every state will have a "republican form" of government. (guarantees) ~ thanks SG!

THe US protects each state from i_ _ a _ io (take over) invasion (just came to me...)

State Governor can demand the RETURN of an accused person

The US guarantees that every state....

#4 Petition

the 9th ammendment states that the people have more rights than the Constitution "enumerates"....but that does not fit with the letters or blanks.

Thanks so much for your help so far. I am googling as much as I can and I am getting frustrated with this stuff.

I have these letters for that question...don't know if they are all correct though.

_ n _ l _ _ e _

2 assembly
3 states

ok...if Assembly is correct, then I have this one wrong...

4th amendment: Cannot be made to house or _ _ _ _ troops in homes. (I thought answer would be ..hide.)

The fourth ammendment protects against unreasonable search and seizure.

Karen---did PETITION work for #4?

Yes, that worked.

#1 Rhode Island approved the Constitution after the government _ _ _ a _ work.

How about "began"? Make sense?


The fourth ammendment protects against unreasonable search and seizure. (It needs to be four letters and _ _ e _ ...since we put assembling in there.)

Good luck...I've done all the damage I can....Good night...hope you don't have to stay up too late.

We just finished a 26 page " Louisiana A to Z" report...so my heart goes out to you.
