Select the Right from the Bill of Rights (first 10 Amendements on pp 199-200) that you think is most important. Explain why you think so.

I think Amendment 1 is the most important. I believe it is the most important amendment because it protects a persons freedom that is living in the United States, it also protects our civil liberties. It is stating that we have religious freedom, freedom of speech and the right to assemble and petition against the government. Basically we can believe in any religion, we can say just about anything we want to say and we can petition against the government if we do not agree or like what they are doing without having any consequences because it is our right as a U.S citizen.This amendment is what changed America and made us independent and free. Without this amendment I don't believe America would be what it is today. A free, independent country. This amendment is what makes America, America.
