32. "Bill of Rights."

It is a list (not complete, as per the 10th,) of rights humans have that are NOT to be taken away by government. A list, basically of what the gov't CAN'T do. They were added after drafting the Constitution, as many states did not want the new federal government to become what they had just fought a war to get rid of. Most states refused to ratify the Constitution without these amendments. And, if you wonder why the 2d was added, the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired over the government confiscating arms and ammo (powder, shot, etc.). So, perhaps you can fathom why, some people get a little upset when there are individuals/gov't officials who call for banning guns/ammo. "Been there, done that."
