Enmiendas Citas

• En los últimos años se ha sugerido que la Segunda Enmienda protege el derecho "colectivo" de los estados a mantener milicias, mientras que no protege el derecho del "pueblo" a poseer y portar armas... Si alguien albergó esta idea en el periodo durante el cual se debatieron y ratificaron la Constitución y la Carta de Derechos, sigue siendo uno de los secretos más celosamente guardados del siglo XVIII, ya que ningún escrito conocido que haya sobrevivido del periodo comprendido entre 1787 y 1791 afirma tal tesis.

• The Framers of the First Amendment were not concerned with preventing government from abridging their freedom to speak about crops and cockfighting, or with protecting the expressive activity of topless dancers, which of late has found some shelter under the First Amendment. Rather, the Framers cherished unabridged freedom of political communication.

• A preguntas aleatorias sobre la Primera Enmienda y cómo les gustaría que se aplicara, si es que se cree en las encuestas, el estadounidense medio no quiere saber nada de ella. Pero si se pregunta: "¿Qué pasaría si mañana tiráramos la Constitución por la borda?", la respuesta es: "No, eso sería malo". Pero vivir bajo la Constitución es otra historia.

• The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretense by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.
