目前美國憲法共存在27個有效的修正案。其中，最初的10個修正案是一次性被通過的，因為其主要規定了人民的權利和對政府的限制，因此被統稱為權利法案。此後的17個修正案則是逐次獲得通過的。

國會不得制定關於下列事項的法律：確立國教或禁止信教自由；剝奪言論自由或出版自由；或剝奪人民和平集會和向政府請願伸冤的權利。

2. 1791年12月15日 攜帶武器的自由
一支訓練有素的民兵，對一個自由州的安全實為必要，民眾擁有並且佩帶槍枝的權利不容侵犯。

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
