Picking out the howlers!!!?

There sentences are quoted from the short story “Assuming Blunders” in the reference book “1100 words you need to know,”which mentions that the teacher was able to compile a fairly comprehensive list of howlers written by his students.

Among them are the blelow:

1. “Socrates dieds from an overdose of wedlock.”

2. “King Alfred conquered the Dames.”

3. “Indains squabs carried propoises on their backs.”

4. “Under the Constitution, the people enjoy the right to keep bare arms.”

5. “In the Olympic Games, the Greeks ran, jumped , hurled the bisquits and threw the java”

Can anyone pick out the mistakes and revise them for me??

Hopfully, those who are willing to help me can give me clear-cut explanations for each sentence

respectively and the revised/ correct sentences. Thanks a million!!
