Once upon a time, there was a leprechaun
named Leviticus. He was a curious leprechaun. One
day he left his house in search of adventure. He
happened upon an amazing double rainbow. “What a
fine rainbow” he exclaimed. “ I bet there’s a pot of
gold at the end.”
3
Our curious fellow, Leviticus, ran down to the end of the
rainbow in pursuit of his treasure. When he got to the end of
the rainbow he saw a pot. Yet when looked he saw a map
instead of gold. When he read the map it said,
“ To find my treasure, you must follow the trail and learn about
all twenty seven amendments.”
Happy to have an adventure, Leviticus set off on his journey!
4
Leviticus was following the trail when he bowed down and
prayed, that he would find the treasure but a snail
approached him and said,
“ I command
you to stop
praying!
Right now!”
But Leviticus said “ No, I have the freedom of religion and
according to the first amendment I can worship freely!” and
with that he continued on his journey…
Amendment 1The right to worship freely , have your own opinions, right to press
unless its untrue, to petition, and the right to appeal the government.
5
Then Leviticus got attacked by a squirrel and used his handy dandy
sword to defend himself. The squirrel started to scream,
“You can’t use
your sword that’s
unfair!!!”
But Leviticus replied, “ I can use my sword for self defense because you’re
attacking me.” So the squirrel ran away.
Amendment 2You can own weapons for self defense
6
Leviticus saw a cave in the distance and decided to make it his home for the night.
The next morning a solider traveled to his cave and demanded that Leviticus had to
feed him and house him, for the week. But Leviticus said, “My third amendment rights
protect me from having soldiers like you to be quartered in my cave.” Then the angry
solider stomped away.
Amendment 3Soldiers cannot stay in your house or be quartered in any
house without permission of the owner.
7
After the solider had left Leviticus cave, a group of policemen
ran into his cave and started looking at his treasure map.
Leviticus got very angry and asked, “Do you have a warrant?”
The policemen yelled, “No!!”
So he told the officers that unless they had a warrant they couldn’t look
at his map. The Policemen didn’t know what to do because they indeed
didn’t have a warrant so they walked away and out of his cave.
Amendment 4You cannot be arrested or have you house, papers, and property searched
8
or seized without a warrant.
As Leviticus was walking, he saw a trial taking place but when
he glanced to look at it, the judge was holding all of Leviticous’
belongings from his cave!
He marched straight up to the Judge and told him that his
private belongings couldn’t be used for public display, The
Judge apologized and gave Leviticus his things back.
Amendment 5- People accused of a serious crime can have a grand jury hearing. If
you are accused of a crime and found innocent, you can’t be accused of the same
crime again. You also have the right to not say things that could be used against you in
trial. Lastly, everyone is innocent until proven guilty and the government can’t make
9
your private things into public use.
Leviticus kept on his
journey and before he could
get to far a giant lion came
out of the bushes and said,
“I’m going
to put you
in jail!”
But Leviticus laughed and replied,
“You can’t put me
in jail without a
reason and I
haven't committed
any crime.”
So the lion roared away and
Leviticus kept on traveling…
Amendment 6You can’t be put in jail for a long time without going to trial. The police
cannot force you to get you to say what you did wrong and no one can put
you in jail without a reason.
10
Leviticus had been getting a little tired of his journey so he decided to
be a judge for the day… His case for the day was a civil case between
a man named Frank and the pickle business.
The jury made the final decision, when Leviticus started to argue with
the jury. A jury member reminded Leviticus of the 7th and 11th
amendment which jogged his memory that he couldn’t disagree with
the jury.
Amendment 7 and 11A civil case is a dispute between people and businesses. What ever the jury
decides the judge cannot disagree. A person cannot sue a state in a federal
11
court.
Leviticus had been
following his map for a long
time so he took a nap
under a shady tree… But a
caterpillar awoke him and
demanded that he was to
pay him ten dollars in cash.
But he replied,
“ That is an
unreasonable fine and
I’m not going to give you
ten dollars.” So the
caterpillar slithered
away…
Amendment 8No one can give you an unreasonable or cruel bail, fines and/or
punishment.
12
Leviticus got up from under the tree and he needed to take a
bathroom break, so he saw a porta-potty in the distance.
When Leviticus was going to the bathroom a walrus walked in
on him and Leviticus screamed, “Ahhhhhhhh!” Leviticus then
screamed, “You are invading my privacy, get out of this portapotty!” So the walrus whaled away.
Amendment 9Although there are some rights not listed in the Constitution, they are
still given to the people.
13
After taking his bathroom break, Leviticus saw a T.V in the
distance, he wondered, “Why would there be a television in the
woods?” but he walked up to it and noticed that it was a debate
show about who had the powers that weren't listed in the
Constitution. But Leviticus already knew who received those
powers, the states!
Leviticus so badly wanted to find his treasure so he kept traveling…
Amendment 10The powers that don’t say whether or not they go to the state or national
14
government are given to the states.
Leviticus was walking when he noticed a, “Vote Here!”
sign. He saw women, boys and people of many races
voting. So he went over to the voting booth and voted for
President Lamont.
Amendment 12, 15, 19, 23, 24 and 26American citizens can vote for the president. Women have the right to vote,
this game citizens of the district of Columbia the right to vote, you can begin to
vote at the age of 18. Also colored people and people of different races can
vote. Lastly you can not charge people money so they can register to vote.
15
But once Leviticus left the
cave a person came along
and demanded, “You are
now my slave and you
must do everything I say!”
But Leviticus protested
that he can’t be owned
as property according
to the thirteenth
amendment.
Amendment 13You can not own people as property.
16
Leviticus finally
left the voting
area, when a
man stopped
him and asked
him if he was a
U.S citizen.
Leviticus
showed him his
forms and told
him his parents
were Irish.
Amendment 14If you are born in the U.S. you’re a U.S. citizen. The amount
of representatives in each state depends the population of
the state.
17
Leviticus was walking when he realized what day it was, tax
day! Thankfully the government had already collected his taxes
before he set off on his journey!
Amendment 16The government can collect taxes.
18
As Leviticus walked down the street he saw a flyer posted up on a
pole telling him to vote for two senators. He knew this was a great
idea because then each state has a say in what the government does.
Leviticus then remembered that he had also voted for the senators when
he was at the voting booth where he voted for president Lamont.
Amendment 17For each state two people are elected by the people to serve in
the Senate. This is a part of the government.
19
Leviticus thought he saw a fire in the
distance but just noticed that it was a
camp fire, so he stopped by...
Everybody was drinking liquor
and having a great time! Good
thing liquor is legal Leviticus
thought.
Amendment 18 and 21This made liquor illegal and then made liquor legal
20
As Leviticus continued on his journey, he noticed a newsstand. He went
over to it and saw that the daily paper announced that President Lamont
had won the election. It also said that the president would be in office for
four years and that he could only be elected twice as president.
Amendment 20 & 22Sets the end dates and the beginning dates of presidential terms. This
also set the term limit for presidents which is two 4 year terms.
21
Leviticus kept on walking when he heard a group of people talking about
how president Lamont didn’t want to be president anymore. One of the
people asked, “If president Lamont won’t be president, who will?” Leviticus
walked up to them and replied,
“the 25th amendment
says that if the president
doesn’t take the job then
the vice president takes
his place.”
Amendment 25If the president steps down or dies the vice president takes his place.
22
Leviticus then continued on his way just to run into a dolphin. This dolphin
claimed to be part of congress. The dolphin and Leviticus started to talk. The
dolphin told Leviticus of his sneaky plan to try to raise the amount of money
he was making. Leviticus told the dolphin that the 27th amendment will stop
his plan.
Amendment 27Congressmen cannot vote to give themselves a raise in the same
term.
23
After all of his searching, Leviticus learned
about all of his rights and he finally found
his treasure!!!
