In 1789, the United States sought to make the union more perfect, drawing up 10 amendments to the Constitution now known as the Bill of Rights. In this series of ten short videos, TIME brings to life the words of the Founding Fathers and explores how these deeply felt ideas about liberty and property have evolved into the amendments as we interpret them today.

- Does the Fourth Amendment protect an individual’s privacy in the workplace?
No. If an employer promises otherwise, employees should assume that the employer is
regularly reviewing incoming and outgoing phone calls (including voice mail), copying and
reviewing every email sent or received, tracing every Website visited, and viewing every
document created on the company's computers. Employers are not required to notify employees about surveillance.
- Can students be searched by their teachers?
Yes. The Fourth Amendment allows searches conducted by teachers and police
officers. Therefore, if a teacher wants to search she must have a strong reason to believe there is evidence the student violated a school rule or broke the law.
- Can students be searched at school by police officers?
Yes. Under the Fourth Amendment, police generally have to obtain a warrant showing that there is probable cause to believe that the student committed a crime. There
are special circumstances when a warrant is not required. For example: The officer believes the student has a firearm.
Can evidence obtained in school searches be used in a criminal case against a student?
Yes, provided the evidence was obtained legally. If a teacher or police officer obtains
evidence in violation of the Fourth Amendment, the evidence has to be shown in court.

1st Amendment
Why did the states want to ensure the Federal government did not establish a national religion?
The First Amendment was written because at America’s inception, citizens demanded a guarantee of their basic freedoms. Their earliest collaboration followed the framing of Virginia’s state constitution in 1776, which exempted dissenters like the Baptists from paying taxes to support the Anglican clergy.
And why were the freedoms of press, speech and assembly so important to the Founding Fathers?
It is important to the founding fathers because, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and the fathers had all of their rights.
What rights to freedom of expression do students have?
Public school students possess a range of free-expression rights under the First Amendment. Students can speak, write articles, assemble to form groups and even petition school officials on issues. The U.S. Supreme Court has said that students “do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression at the schoolhouse gate.”
