First Amendment – Freedom of speech and freedom of religion
We the people of this family have the right to be silly, sing, laugh, giggle, worship and talk about things that aren't of interest to everyone, even if it's annoying to some.

Second Amendment – Right to Bear arms.
A well-regulated Bear being necessary to the security of a free family, the right of the people to hug and keep in Bear's arms shall not be infringed.

Third Amendment – Protection from quartering of troops.
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. I choose to interpret this to mean NO FIGHTING. People who fight (aka soldiers) shall not be allowed to stay in my home without my permision.

Fourth Amendment – Protection from unreasonable search and seizure.
The right of the family to be safe from other members of the family going through their things and stealing them. Also the right of the parent to search and seize with probable cause (probably cause ex.: past history of thefts).

Fifth Amendment – due process, double jeopardy, self-incrimination, eminent domain.
No parent shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise infamous crime or even slight, that was actually committed by birth family. In other words, this mom didn't do it and I'm sick of being punished for it.

Sixth Amendment – Rights of the accused; Confrontation Clause, speedy trial, public trial, right to counsel
In all "criminal prosecutions," the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy FAIR Club assignment, by a calm, regulated parent with the child's best interest in mind.

Seventh Amendment – Civil trial by jury.
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved. I choose to interpret this as, for serious "crimes," I will ask the opinion of other moms of RADS and other knowledgeable people before Hubby and I render the verdict.

Eighth Amendment – Prohibition of excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted (not to be determined by the accused). I will aim for logical consequences wherever possible.

Ninth Amendment – Protection of rights not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
Wherever possible we, the parents, will try to protect the rights of the child, even from themselves. This includes their right to be happy, healthy citizens. We are aware that sometimes the child will be unable and unwilling to achieve this, but we will help them fight against their demons and issues to help them attain this.

Tenth Amendment – Powers of States and people.
The powers not delegated to the parents by the Fair Club, nor prohibited by it to the individual family members' needs, are reserved to the family members respectively for as long as they are acting in a manner that doesn't encroach on their own best interest or other family member's rights . In other words as long as you're following the rules and not infringing on other's lives then you can do what you want... unless we, your parents, think it's not what's best for you.
