The Fourth Amendment states that people have the right to not have their persons or homes be searched by the government; however, this is not the case in today’s society. Even with this amendment, the police still refuse to confine to the rights of this amendment. In investigating the justifications of the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights, one can conclude that the evaluations of the history of the Fourth Amendment has changed in modern applications and the effectiveness.…

    The amendment deals with protecting people from the police or other government authority searching their homes and private property without search warrants that have been properly executed. The Founders considered truthful that freedom from intrusion into one’s home by the government was a natural right granted by God and that it was fundamental to liberty. They experienced unreasonable searches and seizures by the King or appointed officials.
