I have terrible trouble remembering the numbers of the amendments dealing with unreasonable search and seizure, no forced quartering of soldiers in private homes, the right to jury trial, etc. (I know that freedom from self-incrimination is in the Fifth, because everyone who's watched an American courtroom drama knows that.)

I know that those rights are in the Bill of Rights, but a survey of this type would probably flunk me for forgetting which number is which.
