The ten amendments, explained is the chart: each amendment with what it protects and what it says, in plain words. To fill in keeps each amendment’s number and leaves lines to write what it protects, with the ten answers in a word bank; with the answer key, the chart follows as a second page. Each amendment to put in your own words names what each one protects and leaves lines to explain it.
Each summary follows the National Archives transcription of the Bill of Rights, read on 17 October 2026. Congress proposed twelve amendments on September 25, 1789, and the states ratified ten of them on December 15, 1791: these ten are the Bill of Rights. Another of the twelve was ratified in 1992, 203 years later, as the 27th Amendment, and one was never ratified. With older students, read each amendment’s own words on the National Archives page beside the summary.
