Maddy Lewis Top 5 Amendments 1. Amendment 9 – Unumerated rights. This amendment states that just because a right is not mentioned in the constitution does not mean that the right doesn’t exist. This amendment is important because it protects our natural rights. It keeps in mind the nature of a federal government finding a way to corrupt the laws given by taking away other rights. 2. Amendment 10- Power to the states- All rights not listed in the Constitution belong to the states and

The most important and meaningful amendment to the United States Constitution would be the Nineteenth Amendment‚ in which this Amendment gave American women the right to vote.

Devan Laney Amendment 13 is the one that has made big impact on me. I don’t know where I would be if slavery were not abolished.
