Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.25 Bill of Rights skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A civic club debates whether to add a list of protected rights to its rules. One member says, “Rules

should tell leaders what they cannot do, not only what they can do.” Which statement best explains how the Bill of Rights is an example of the member’s idea?

AIt adds only “can do” powers that make leaders stronger.

BIt removes all rules so leaders decide everything.

CIt changes the club into a monarchy with a crown.

DIt adds “cannot do” protections that limit leaders and safeguard members’ freedoms.

Solution & Explanation:The Bill of Rights is largely written as limits (“shall not”) to protect rights, matching the idea of restricting leader actions.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

is about “power shared between states and the nation” rather than “freedom.” Which statement best explains the best correction to the student’s argument?

AThe Bill of Rights is only about choosing the president.

BThe Bill of Rights is only about land sales.

CThe Bill of Rights includes freedom protections and also some ideas about power, but its central goal is protecting liberties by limiting government.

DThe Bill of Rights is only about creating the navy.

Solution & Explanation:While some amendments touch on power (like reserving powers), the Bill of Rights mainly protects individual liberties and fair treatment.
