I'm curious as to the teacher's reaction. I mean, let's face it, the constitutional amendment is not something that could be prohibited by the state laws or the by-laws, right? So, if an animal protection group would make a state or a city to pass a law that forbids feeding an ice-cream to the animals based on the possible negative long-term consequences, you would have to comply, wouldn't you? Therefore, to feed your cat ice cream is not a legal right promised by that amendment, won't you think? The same is true regarding the clothing and alike. You could have local by-laws prohibiting a certain types of clothing (like wearing a completely transparent bras in public places) or have any other types of the 'dress codes' implemented locally. So, could wearing anything you want really be a US citizen constitutional right?
