Bill of Rights Project

Here's a great place to start...if you're looking for the actual wording of the amendment, it should be found under "Text." If you read through the article, you should be able to find plenty of Supreme Court cases.

Remember, Wikipedia is a great starting point. DO NOT use it as your only source.

First Amendment
Second Amendment
Third Amendment
Fourth Amendment
Fifth Amendment
Sixth Amendment
