U.S. vs. Ohio Constitution

This idea is carried through the US constitution up through the ninth amendment, mentioning such things as no required excessive bail, and constitutional rights not being taken from anyone. Constitution, there are more specific details involved. These include things such as “…a more perfect union…justice…domestic tranquility…common defense…general welfare and blessings of liberty. This is logical in the sense that the US must be more general in governing not such a specific lot of people and to be open for change in times. The fifth amendment in both constitutions deals with trial by jury and the grand jury. While the Ohio constitution must also constrict to modern times, it’s bill of rights holds more law and decisions in number and detail. For example, the eleventh amendment in Ohio considers freedom of speech and of the press, and the thirteenth of the quartering of soldiers.

As the bill of rights in the constitution of the United States only involves ten amendments, the bill of rights of the state of Ohio has double the amount of amendments. The Ohio constitution continues in regards to some things that are mentioned already in the US constitution. The rest of the bill of rights of Ohio’s constitution also includes transportation and such responsibilities of the state for crime, search and general warrants, no imprisonment for debt, hereditary privileges, suspension of laws and powers reserved for the people.

While in the constitution, the first amendment calls for freedom of religion, speech, press and such, Ohio’s first amendment calls for right to freedom and protection of property. As the US constitution continues with military concerns in the next three amendments, the Ohio constitution speaks of the right to reform, alter or abolish government, the right to assembly and the right to bear arms. ion of the United States, this is a less detailed constitution, but is still devout to God and common welfare. The Ohio constitution, as with many other state constitutions, is much more detailed than that of the US.
