the Bill of Right were included in the Constitution as a way to prevent the government from trampling on individual civil liberties like freedom of speech and religion. However, the language of the Bill of Rights is sometimes ambiguous, and different courts interpret the meanings of the amendments differently.

Important: Be sure to reference at least two amendments in the Bill of Rights and two accompanying court cases to support your answer.
