Bill of Rights: first 10 amendments US students search
US students search “Bill of Rights” and “First Amendment” for civics tests. The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the Constitution, ratified in 1791. This landing is a full 100-question English practice set — not a thin copy of the Grade 7 classroom drill.
Why US students open this page
Amendment lists are high-volume US education queries alongside presidents and state capitals.
What it is
Ten amendments that limit the federal government and protect individual rights. Later amendments (11–27) are not “the Bill of Rights.”
First Amendment
Speech, press, religion, assembly and petition — classroom five.
Incorporation
Many protections later apply to states through the 14th Amendment. That is a later civics topic, not a fake 2026 case we invent.
Official sources
Changing dates, fees, award amounts and cutoffs stay on these sites. GKSchools does not invent them.
