Do you believe that people accused of crimes deserve all of these rights or just some of them? Why or why not?

I believe that most of these are reasonable. But I dont agree with, you can only be tried once for a crime because what if one of your family members is murdered and you saw the killer do it and the jury thought differently. Then eventually you the police get more evidence on it but the killer can't be tried again even if thy can prove that he/she actually comitted the crime. Also I don't agree with the death penalty because it's not right if they did something wrong then you go and kill them? That makes no sense at all. I think they should just get life in prision or something more reaonable.

2nd - 4th amendments

2nd Amendment
Guns should be able to be in the house for protection. Guns shouldn't be in the house because what could happen if their children started playing with it because they didn't know what it was then hurt them self or somebody else in the family? My opinion on the right to bear arms is that it is okay to have a gun in the house but only if it is for protection and not for other reasons.

3rd Amendment
I think that it is fair to open their homes for the soldiers because they're fighting for us and if they need things we should help them.

4th Amendment
Police might have a reason to search your house if they think you have hurt somebody or even murdered somebody.

Also they should be able to have a say in what they want which would be petition and also the freedom of press to say criticism about people tif there not doing a good job at their job and if other people agree with them.
