Question 30

• Protection from being tried twice for the same crime (double jeopardy) is in the 5th Amendment (part of Bill of Rights).
• Protection from cruel and unusual punishment is in the 8th Amendment (Bill of Rights).
• Right to a speedy trial is in the 6th Amendment (Bill of Rights).
• Right to a jury of peers is in the 6th Amendment (Bill of Rights). So all these rights are guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.

The 4th Amendment states: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause...". This matches the description of protection from police searches without evidence (probable cause).

• The first option is part of the 5th Amendment (double jeopardy, grand jury, self - incrimination, due process, eminent domain).
• The third option is the 2nd Amendment (right to bear arms).
• The fourth option is the 7th Amendment (jury in civil cases).
• The fifth option is the 8th Amendment (bail, fines, punishment).

Answer:

All of these rights are guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
