Amendment I
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.
Freedom of religion, speech, press, peaceful assembly and govornment petition.... yeah these are important.

Right to bear arms.. to protect ourselves from the govornment.
Amendment IV

The govornment searching and seizing at will is a bad idea.

speedy/public trial, impartial jury and counsel for his defence... could you imagine life without it?
I didn't want to give up the 8th but I had to cut it down to 5.
Children, this is what happens to hockey players, druggies, and Hillary Clinton.
