Protections of the Bill of Rights The Bill of Rights has a significant impact on the way we do business and function as citizens. The following exercises require you to read a brief description of a situation or action and drag it to the amendment that would be relevant to that item. In doing so, you should become more familiar with the protections offered by some of the amendments that either have a significant effect on business or are frequently discussed in the media. The Bill of Rights prohibits the government from interfering with certain freedoms. These freedoms are held by all citizens, and because we treat corporations as artificial persons, we also provide most of these protections to corporations. Before beginning this exercise, review the section "The Amendments to the Constitution" in your text. Drag the item to the amendment most relevant to it. If you need a hint, roll your cursor over each box to reveal a clue.
