constitutional right

Read a random definition: compulsory surrender

A quick definition of constitutional right:

A constitutional right is a right that is protected by a constitution. This means that it is a right that is guaranteed by the law of the land, either by the U.S. Constitution or by a state constitution. These rights are important because they cannot be taken away by the government or anyone else, and they help to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and equally under the law.

A more thorough explanation:

A constitutional right is a right that is protected by a constitution. This means that the government cannot take away this right from its citizens. In the United States, the most well-known constitution is the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees certain rights to its citizens.

For example, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of speech, religion, and the press. This means that the government cannot censor or punish individuals for expressing their opinions or beliefs.

Another example is the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. This means that the government cannot search a person's property or belongings without a warrant or probable cause.

These examples illustrate how constitutional rights are important for protecting individual freedoms and limiting the power of the government. Without these rights, citizens could be subject to government abuse and oppression.

Been a long cycle guys but I wanted to quickly say never let your stats be the defining thing of who you are. Schools care more than just about the numbers. I have a 162 LSAT and just got accepted to WashU!

@llama: B&J's half baked. that's interesting! is it for work or are you trying to build a PC?
@IrishDinosaur: Thanks! Good luck with your apps!
@honeybun: Lol I know they are one of the ones that are gaming the system for their stats but they will still take people with low stats!
21:54
@honeybun: i think u rite 95% with WashU, but they do seem to be holistic for the other 5%.

no specifically intel stock. the company is at a crossroads. I am currently using an intel i5 from 2017. If I were to build another PC, I think I would go AMD.

i wish id gone nvidia instead of amd
22:13
@starfishies: for gaming?
IrishDinosaur
22:13
@starfishies: nvidia is good. I've got it in my gaming pc, works well
22:18
new Nvidia cards are coming out soon, hopefully there will be some good deals out there to snatch up
starfishies
22:22
gaming yes! i think nvidia software and drivers are better than amd imo
22:25
nice ya agreed for gaming: DirectX and the drivers for games are just so much ahead. I do not game, more of just multitasking office stuff, so AMD would be just fine for me
IrishDinosaur
22:34
what games do you play starfishies?
starfishies
22:38
makes sense! amd isn't horrible but for gaming not ideal
starfishies
22:38

starfishies

IrishDinosaur
23:22

IrishDinosaur
23:23

GodsPlanUltimately
