The first eight amendments in the Bill of Rights were intended to protect Americans ' specific personal rights. The Founding Fathers recognized the importance of these rights and fought so that the people in the United States would have the independence that no other nation had known. These same men were well aware of the unavoidable sacrifices they were going to have to make. Listing every right that a person should possess was impossible to fit into ten amendments. Therefore, congress made the final two amendments in the Bill of Rights to be an all inclusive statute in an effort to prevent the United States government from discovering a loophole and gaining too much power. The Ninth and Tenth Amendments are the final two statutes in the Bill of Rights which outlines the limited control of the government and even more importantly the power of the people.…
I feel the most significant amendment is the first amendment. All individuals should have the right to express the opinions and speak their mind. The reason for the first amendment is to formulate a law to ensure people they can express themselves no matter…

The preamble states that the purpose of the Constitution is to create "a more perfect union" and help make the United Sates of America a place of freedom. The Bill of Rights presents the fundamental freedoms of human rights. It lays out what people are entitled to and what the government cannot take away. Both of these documents provide evidence that the United States' government should be fair and reasonable, and lays out what is needed for the country to be successful.…
In the final approved version of the Bill of Rights, it lists ten amendments. The amendments were written in “broad language” but in a way, very specific as well. Even though all ten of the amendments are very important, the first two amendments are probably the most talked about, especially today in modern America. The first amendment describes that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment” of the freedom of religion, speech, press or petition against our government…
The Bill of Rights is an important document that guarantees civil rights and liberties for individuals residing in the United States. It comprises ten amendments added to the Constitution to protect individuals from the government's excessive power. Americans want a Bill of Rights to safeguard their basic freedoms. Some of the most significant amendments are the first, third, and eighth.…
The First Amendment protects the rights of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to petition the Government. These rights are some of the most important rights granted to Americans. Some may argue that the First Amendment is too protective of our rights. I tend to disagree; I think in order for our country to have a written explanation of what is or isn't protected the First Amendment gets the points across precisely.…
important, but the freedom of religion part of the amendment I believe to be MOST important.…
The first amendment is the most important because it grants the people their freedom of speech. This freedom is vital to expressing one’s own opinion of decisions that the government has made. An example of this right being denied is the current state of North Korea. Their citizens do not in any way have freedom of speech, and because of that they cannot criticize their government in order to improve it. Their government is very controlling and insufficient due to the people’s lack of rights. This example helps to enhance the importance of freedom of speech in the first amendment, because without it in a country the government cannot be criticized upon their behalf.…
It seems hard to pick a favorite amendment out of the first ten. Most of the amendments support each other and work together. While all of the amendments are important, the one I feel is the most important of all is our 5th amendment right. Freedom of speech, religion, and our right to bear arms is a wonderful thing.…
The three amendments in the Bill of Rights that are most beneficial to today’s society are the first one, the eighth amendment, and the ninth amendment. An amendment that is beneficial is the first amendment. This amendment is about the freedoms of speech and assembly. This amendment is helpful because it allows people to express their beliefs out loud; and it allows them to gather with others who share the same beliefs.…

The most important amendments for me is the first Amendment because is about freedom of religion and speech and assembly because people can express who they are and are allowed to practice what they want we should abide by it by letting people do the own religion and have their own opinions.The other Amendment I feel is important for me is the Third Amendment because before doing something to my home I would like to give my opinion no just what they want to do or do something for me I have to give my opinion they are the presidents but for example, my family work hard to have our home why they don't work hard to give a home to the…
Most people, without even knowing it, are frequently protected, or using, the Bill of Rights in their everyday lives. The amendments that affect my life the most are the 1st, 4th, and 9th where as the 7th, 6th, and 5th are not as relevant. The first amendment protects my freedoms of expression; religion, assembly, petition, press, and speech. The most used freedom of expression in my life is freedom of speech, the right to express my opinion in a peaceful way. Being able to say what I believe about the government, ways of life, causes I support, and other beliefs I disagree with is all defended by the 1st amendment. The 4th amendment is also very relevant in my life. The 4th amendment allows me to be safe and secure in my houses, persons, papers,…
Another reason why the first Amendment is important is because of the freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech we wouldn't be able to express out feelings. And also I wouldn't be here writing about it by now. Some might think that's a good thing, but think of the alternative...if there was no first amendment I would be the person I am today, I would of never learned to interpret the world the way I wanted to, and analyze facts and data of everyday life the way I see fits.…
