the first four amendments listed the individual rights of americans, such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion the next four were protections of people who were arrested. the ninth amendment stated that other rights of the people were also protected even though they weren't listed, and the tenth said that powers not given to the government belonged to the states or to the people. -

schindler's list
a list in which all the jews were rescued by schindler during ww2. it is also a book was written by thomas keneally. you should have an insensitive personality to finish it without crying. there is also a movie shot in 1993. i know that is a common cliche but yet i feel obliged to say that the book was better by far than the movie. that is to say never make the mistake of watching the movie first before you read the book.
