And That The Said Constitution Be Never Construed To Authorize Congress To Infringe The Just Liberty Of The Press, Or The Rights Of Conscience; Or To Prevent The People Of The United States, Who Are Peaceable Citizens, From Keeping Their Own Arms; Or To Raise Standing Armies, Unless Necessary For The Defense Of The United States, Or Of Some One Or More Of Them; Or To Prevent The People From Petitioning, In A Peaceable And Orderly Manner, The Federal Legislature, For A Redress Of Grievances; Or To Subject The People To Unreasonable Searches And Seizures Of Their Persons, Papers Or Possessions.
