Why Is Miranda Rights Important

James Madison is known as the Father of the Constitution, a body of fundamental laws that set out the process of government. The Constitution is made up of multiple articles and amendments. Multiple amendments allow anyone to vote, the 6th amendment gives everyone Miranda rights, and the 3rd amendment gives the right to bear arms. The Constitution and the Amendments still guarantee freedom for the people in the U.S. Voting use to be restricted to certain people, based on race, age, and gender. Very few people actually had the freedom to vote, but the 15th, 19th, and the 26th amendment changed all of that. Now, anyone, as long as you’re a U.S citizen, can vote; this includes women, blacks, and anyone 18 or over. When 18 year olds were being drafted, they didn’t feel like it was fair that they had to be ruled by a president that they didn’t even get to vote for. The right to vote isn’t restricted to any U.S citizen, and gives everyone a voice for who gets to run the country.
The Miranda rights include a speedy trial, the right to face your accuser and witnesses, and the right to a lawyer. So everyone has the freedom to know their Miranda rights, which is beneficial when you’re facing legal trouble. There are some exceptions to the Miranda rights. For example, if the accuser is a child, they may be allowed to not attend a trial. It can be very psychological damaging for a child to have to go up against a person who had hurt them in some way. That does sometimes take away the right to face an accuser for a ‘criminal’, but they should have thought about that before deciding to hurt
