Amendment Description In your own words/real life example

Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, I personally am a large advocate for this Amendment and believe it
1 Freedom of Press, Freedom of Assembly, is one of the most important ones. I believe everyone in this world
and Freedom of Petition should be able to express themselves without judgement, hate or
discrimination. I am a very outspoken person and identity with the
Jewish religion, and having this amendment allows me to live in a
society where I am more protected and have the right to speak out
without persecution.
The right to bear arms I do not agree with this Amendment to a certain extent. Living in a
2 violence stricken society of today, I view the possession of guns as
a threat to everyday human lives. I completely understand the need
to possess a gun for hunting purposes, although I do not love the
idea of hunting, I think it is completely unnecessary to have a hand
gun or semi automatic gun in a household simply for “protection”.
I believe those types of guns should be eradicated and not used for
the public.
Prohibits soldiers from entering a house, I actually agree with this amendment. As much as I believe in
3 at peace time, without the owner’s protecting the troops and making sure they have a roof over there
permission heads and food to eat whenever they can get it, I also believe in a
home owner’s right to refuse their homes to the soldiers, although
I disagree with ever refusing a troop. It is their home and they do
have a right to refuse who stays in it.
Prohibits unwarranted and unreasonable This amendment is most likely one of the more important of the
4 searches and seizures amendments. I believe it is exceedingly significant because it
protects the civilians privacy and the safety of their own homes.
Every American should feel as safe and secure as they can in their
own homes without random searches without probable cause or
reason.

Restrictions on the government's
5 prosecution of persons accused of crimes
Guarantees a citizen the right to an
6 attorney, a speedy trial, and a fair jury
among some of the rights granted
Guarantees a jury trial for civil cases in
7 the federal courts
States that that punishments must be fair,
8 cannot be cruel, and that fines that are
extraordinarily large cannot be set
Other rights that may exist aside from the
9 ones explicitly mentioned, and even
though they are not listed, it does not
mean they can be violated
I believe that this amendment only carries benefits rather than
detriments. I respect the fact that this amendment places heavy
emphasis on the due process of our justice system. It is imperative
that we have justice for crimes, even capital crimes, within the
perimeters of our court system and jury system.
This amendment is very important and necessary in the
functioning of our society today. Although if committing a crime is
horrendous and inexcusable, the accused are still people at the end
of the day who should still have some semblance of rights. I am a
full proponent of the policy innocent until proven guilty, and this
amendment gives the accused civilian an opportunity to possibly
clear their name if they are in fact innocent.
To be perfectly honest, I actually do not see the significance of this
amendment. I believe that whether it be in a federal court or a
common court, as long as a trial is being taken place and the
accused has a jury, I really do not have a preference of where the
trial takes place.
I completely believe in this amendment and I believe in it for one
specific reason. In terms of a sentence after the accused is found
guilty, I believe, under no circumstances, the death penalty should
be a part of the sentencing. I think it is completely and utterly
inhumane and hypocritical to kill a killer. Although murderers are
disgusting human beings, I believe they are still human life, and
no human life should be taken away on purpose if it could be
avoided.
I think this amendment is pretty important mostly because it places
a heavy importance on the adherence to these laws for our society,
and makes sure it is one hundred percent clear that these laws are
never fully broken or violated to the best of their abilities.

Balance of power between the federal

Giving women the right to vote
19
Although I do agree with this amendment to a certain extent, I
believe that states do take advantage of this amendment. I do agree
with a balance of power, but if the Supreme Court makes a
decision in regards to an issue, I am of the opinion that their ruling
on the issue is then federal law and should be adhered to by the
states. States are abusing their power and taking decisions made
by the court already and using it as a way to change their own
laws, just like Alabama did.
This amendment is definitely one of the more important ones. It
defines and provide the backbone of our society which is our
political system. It states the voting age as well as defines the
function of congress and house of representatives. Without this,
the United States would have no idea how to run government in
the slightest.
Since the begin of time women have always been portrayed as
being inferior to men. And one of the reasons why this amendment
was so pivotal in breaking that stereotype was its celebration of
the fact that women are people to and have a right fir their voices
to be heard. As a soon to be young women and voter myself,
without this amendment I would n to be able to have any sort of
say in the United States political system.
