I did this exact same assignment back in AP American Government back in high school in the early 1990s. Produced a lot of interesting arguments.

@Pearls Before Swine:
If you read the assignment document, your eyes will glaze over.
You think? Shoot, I find it clearer than most corporate project proposals. Why would it make your eyes glaze over?

@Rightward Ho:
Why is that upsetting? It’s just a thought experiment is all. We did a lot of this in Law School. Nothing wrong with this. It makes you appreciate the Bill of Rights quite frankly.
Agreed. Some of my fondest memories are of AP American Government. That, combined with Mock Trial and Model UN, made for the best year of high school I had. Thought experiments like this are the best for making you think.

They are all integral. Stupid ignorant communist assignment. You take one away, all the others fall apart.

Look to see the teachers union coming forth with a declaration that the children of America unanimously agree the second amendment should be done away with.
This is propaganda in the making.

Why would one reduce the Bill of Rights in order to protect our rights? It’s like asking “in order to protect your family, which of your 2 kids would you drown in the sea?”
