The 10 bill of rights
The Bill of Rights is the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. It guarantees civil rights and liberties to the individual. It sets rules for process of law and reserves all powers to the Federal Government.
The first 10 Amendments include:
1 || Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition.
2 || Protects the right to keep and bear arms.
3 || Prevents government from forcing homeowners to allows
soldiers to use their homes.
4 || Acts against the government from unreasonable search and
seizure of an individual or their private property.
5 || Provides several protections for people accused of crimes. It
states that serious criminal charges must be started by a grand
jury.
6 || Provides additional protections to people accused of crimes,
such as the right to a speedy and public trial, trial by an
impartial jury in criminal cases, and to be informed of criminal charges.
7 || Extends the right to a jury trial in Federal civil cases.
8 || Bars excessive bail and fines and cruel and unusual
punishment.
9 || Listing specific rights in the Constitution does not mean that
people do not have other rights that have not been spelled out.
10 || The Federal Government only has those powers delegated in
the Constitution. If it isn’t listed, it belongs to the states or to
the people.
Better Detail
A Congressional Republican has introduced a federal bill that would ban transgender girls and women from participating in school sports.
The bill does not describe exactly how schools should determine what someone’s sex assigned at birth is, just vaguely stating that “sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
The bill, which is unlikely to come up for a vote in the Democratic House ; would be a challenge to the Biden administration’s position that anti-LGBTQ discrimination is already illegal under federal law and that transgender people have the same rights to participate in sports like anyone else.
There is no bill that says how state and local sports governing bodies should define or check a student athlete’s “reproductive biology and genetics at birth”; all the bill does is threaten their federal funding if they don’t. The bill contains no language banning states or schools from using forced genital or DNA exams on girls and women who want to participate in school sports.
As to this, boys do NOT have similar requirements for when they want to participate in sports, meaning that the genital exams would only be for girls and women.
Republican legislators in over a dozen states have proposed legislation that targets LGBTQ people. The bills touch on athletics, health care and a grab bag of other issues related to queer rights and recognition.
Legislators have also introduced bills to restrict transgender participation in student athletics in Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Dakota, New Hampshire and Florida. The trend carried over from last year, when lawmakers took up the issue in several states. Idaho is the only state to have adopted such a law, and it did so just last year.
Proponents of such bills say it's about fairness, while opponents say the measures are discriminatory.
