The state looks after its people by hiring people to build us hospital's and hiring educated doctor's so that if people in our state gets sick they have some where to go to to be cured. Another way the state keeps us healthy is by making health code's in restaurants and hiring people like health inspector's to make sure that the restaurant's are fit to feed people. Also the state hires teacher's to educate us so that we can be smart and get a decent job to make money when we get older. The state keeps us safer by making law's and rules that we have to go by or we will end up in jail. And they keep the speed limit low in places so that their won't be as many accidents. The federal government share some power's with the state's to such as passing law's, paying taxes, and punishment.

amendment 5-8
Amendment 5 is the reason that police tell us you have the right to remain silent when they are taking them to jail. I think that a criminal shouldn't get all their right until the judge has talked to any spectators and find out their side of the story what happened. I don't think that a witness should be able to accuse the criminal. They shouldn't say that they think that the person is guilty and tell the judge all the reasons that it is that persons fault. They should only be able to tell the judge what they had seen and what they know for sure. I don't think that the witness should be able to give testimony in court. Only the person that got hurt during the crime that was being committed should be able testify and the people that committed the crime should be able to tell their side of the story. I think that the grand jury is a good idea depending on if the person or people have enough evidence to support their story. I think that people should be able to capital punishment but only if the criminal was like a cereal killer or something. But they shouldn't be able to use capital punishment if the crime wasn't serious. I don't think that people should be able to get bailed out of jail until after they did their time or whatever.

4th amendment
This is when a cop would have to search a house of a suspect of a crime. To do this the police need to have proof as to why they would have that person as a suspect before searching that persons house. It may have been a huge crime like believing that suspect shot someone or stold something, grand theft auto, or a drug dealer but the police still need affirmation to inspect the suspects home.
