In the Constitution of the United States of America, the first 10 Amendments are called, “The Bill of Rights.” The fourth amendment states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” To this day, that amendment is active without any changes. Why do you think? I’ll explain why I think it has lasted over 220 years in our country.
When the Constitution was written, I’m not sure if they had faith and thought that it would last so long but it has. I picked the 4th Amendment because I think it is one of the most important of the ten. This Amendment protects you over reasonable things that no one would want happening to them. I don’t believe it is right for the government police to invade your house, car, yourself or your belongings, ect. No one should be searched and nothing of theirs should be seized if they do not have a warrant but first they will need probable cause. This Amendment had stuck around for so long because there isn’t necessarily a “down fall” to this law. Everyone deserves and wants privacy; 220 years ago and today.
How would you feel if cops or the FBI came in to your house, went through all your personal things and took all they wanted without even asking? That’s exactly why this Amendment was put in place and is still
