Mnemonic device for Bill of Rights?

Short and sweet:

I have an American Government final coming up on Monday morning and am looking for a clever way to remember the Bill of Rights. Didn't have much luck Googling "mnemonic device bill of rights" and was wondering if you parents had any good ideas! Thanks.

I'm sure I'm too late, but I helped D1 devise a way to memorize the ENTIRE bill of rights .... by using music. She used a different song for each amendment, the more annoying the song the better. To the tune of the song, she sang the words of the amendment. (in her head, of course!) She says she still remembers it.... I remember the "Right to Bear Arms"....she memorized it to the tune of the "Barney" theme song....and had a mental picture of Barney with an ammo belt across his chest. Sick, I realized, but it worked!
