Amendment 4 confirms the right of the people to be secure in their persons against unreasonable searches and seizures and requires probable cause for search warrants. Amendment 5 guarantees due process of law, protection from double jeopardy and self-incrimination. Amendment 6 establishes the right to a speedy trial by an impartial jury and to confront of witnesses. Amendment 7 stipulates the right to a trial by jury in common law suits.

The themes of we the people, justice, and liberty established in Susan's rendition of The Preamble are carried throughout the piece as is the color scheme of red, white, blue, black, and brown.
