There has always been a debate about weather the 1st amendment is more important Than the 2nd amendment. In this article I will be talking about why I think the 2nd amendment is more important than the 1st‚ the reason I believe the 2nd amendment is more important is that it allows us to bear arms‚ this means we are allowed to own weapons such as guns‚ knives‚ brass knuckles‚ etc...

This amendment has a very strong controversially from the public nation. Also‚ I think it’s one of the most vague and complex sentence among all the Amendments.

The amendment I chose is also most recent; the 27th amendment. I find it to be rather interesting because it was originally proposed in 1789 along with the Bill of Rights yet it was not ratified until just over 200 years later in 1992. The amendment states‚ “No law‚ varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives‚ shall take effect‚ until an election of Representatives shall have intervened” (History‚ Arts‚ and Achieves‚ n.d.).

The fourth amendment is the protection from unreasonable search and seizure unless probable cause is present and in most cases‚ a warrant is issued. This amendment was included in the Declaration of Independence due to searches that the colonists were subjected to. The colonists did not want to pay the taxes being enforced by the King‚ so they began to smuggle goods into the United States via boat. The King of Britain obviously did not agree with this‚ so he sent British ships that could stop and

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. But sometimes things do not quite work out the way we would like‚ and we find ourselves on the other side of the law‚ namely the wrong side. While is it true that when you are arrested
