7 Amendment Pros And Cons

The Constitution and the Amendments are two very important documents that are needed in order to keep the people of America in order. The purpose of the Constitution is to, “form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” (Constitution Preamble). The purpose of the Bill of Rights and the 17 Amendments, bringing the total to 27, are to protect the rights of the people of America and to prevent the government from having full control over the people.

In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

One of the Constitution's greatest strengths is its ability to meet the needs of a dynamic nation. To this day, through its 27 amendments, the Constitution organizes the government, secures rights, and protects citizens. The First Amendment, for example, guarantees the right to freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and grievance. It allows people to freely

The Bill of Rights contains 10 amendments that were designed to protect the people and prevent an over powerful government. There are 3 amendments that are absolutely needed in order for the government to protect the people. That being said the 3 amendments that the people absolutely need are the 1st, 10th, and 2nd amendments. We need the 1st amendment because without freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion, and petition, there is no personal liberty, and without it, we wouldn’t be allowed to disagree with the government. The 10th amendment prohibits the government from becoming too large and taking over the states, and that’s important because without that, the government could easily take over the United States, and not be punished.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is part of our countries Bill of Rights. The first amendment is perhaps the most important part of the U.S. Constitution because the amendment guarantees citizens freedom of religion, speech, writing and publishing, peaceful assembly, and the freedom to raise grievances with the Government. In addition, amendment requires that there be a separation maintained between church and state.

The first amendment formed our country and brought us together to be the free country we are. The first amendment talks about how we get the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, Freedom of press. Amendment 1 is the most important Amendment because it doesn’t allow Congress to make laws about respending religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, and abridging the freedom of speech or press.

The United States Constitution is set up for democracy like the colonist wanted. The constitution prevents anarchy and protects your rights. As a citizen you are protected by the Bill of Rights. We are entitled to freedom of speech, religion, and have dual process. We have guaranteed rights, separated powers of government to prevent tyranny, and we elect our representatives under The United States Constitution. The United States Constitution is set up to keep up with changing times.

The 24 Amendment allows citizens to vote in federal elections regardless to them paying poll taxes or any other taxes. This amendment also allows congress to invoke this article at any time if necessary, as long as they have approval from the Senate.

Due to the British oppression, every American, including our founding founders, wanted greater protection of their rights. To accomplish this, James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights and by the end of 1791, every state had ratified the first ten amendments. The First Amendment is primary, not just because it is at the beginning, but because it articulates the First Freedom and the nature of that freedom. It states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” By connecting the freedom of religion with the freedoms of speech and press, the First Amendment showed the people of America what it is to be a human (Bill of Rights).

It has been two hundred and twenty years since the Constitution was written. In that short amount of time, we have fought several wars and made new discoveries that brought us one step closer to the future. During all of this, society’s political views have slowly shifted over the past two hundred years. From women’s suffrage to civil rights, to same gender marriage, we have adopted beliefs that would have been considered unthinkable during the era that the Founding Fathers lived in. Each of these political accomplishments would not have been possible without the process of Amendments that was put in place by the Founding Fathers. However, each of these accomplishments took several years, and even decades, to accomplish because we continue

The Ten Amendments built the foundation for our country, but the one the amendment that makes us who we are as Americans in my opinion is the First Amendment. As Americans, we all like to boast how we have the Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, and our Freedom to Assemble. So, how could any of this be possible without the First Amendment?

The hysteria over the Las Vegas shooting has prompted people to seek for stricter gun control. Michael Moore has taken the initiative and proposed the twenty-eighth amendment, with the intention to make it more difficult for people to access and misuse guns. This amendment will pose a hindrance on the state of Arizona, if it passes, because people will no longer be able to use guns in times of needs, they run the risk of not being well equipped if the government decides to take over and they will be to stripped of their right to bear arms.

Amendment twelve is the Election of the President and Vice President, this goes with the political stance. This amendment an change to the U.S. constitution approved in 1804, making ready for election of the head of government and bad tendency head of government by the having to do with selection of representatives college: should there be no greater number or part give support to for one person, the House of Representatives (one give support to per state) selects the head of government and the Senate the bad tendency head of government.

In total, America has 27 Amendments but which one do i believe is the most important , well that's what this is about. I believe the first  Amendment is the most important out of them all . The first amendment is freedom of religion , speech, press, assembly , petition Freedom of speech and religion  are the best things a country can have and also something everyone believes they should  have. Over the years many people have suffered from not being able to practice their region without being threatened or hurt. Also many people were afraid to express their thoughts and ideas.

Amendments listed in the United States Constitution are the backbone of our country. Our main liberties are listed in the first amendment; “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” (Baltell) These freedoms give citizens of the United States a chance to have rights and have them be ensured by the highest law of the land. Citizens’ rights give the people opportunities that many other governments do not give their constituents. Rights in judicial cases are all listed in the 6th-8th amendments and list the right to a jury, a fair speedy trial and a right to a defense provided by from the court. These rights are important because if one is committed of a crime then one is ensured many freedoms during the entire court case. U.S. citizens also have voting rights listed in the 14th and 19th amendments. Having the ability to vote for executive positions in the government and having a voice are the most significant parts of our democracy to ensure a fair system.
