If the U.S. constitution began as suggested by the cartoon what might the impact be on the Supreme Court?

History

The cartoon you are referring to shows three business men in front of the U.S. Founding Fathers. One of them, acting as a spokesperson, interpellates the writers of the Constitution by asking them to scratch the first words of the Constitution ("We, the people..") and replace them with the statement "We, the anonymous corporate donors, untraceable foreign contributors and assorted billionaires.." So, if the U.S. Constitution began as suggested by the cartoon, the Supreme Court would make decisions that favored corporations ("we, the anonymous corporate donors") over individuals ("we, the people"). Fortunately this is not the case, but, throughout its history, and depending upon the Chief Justice who has led it, the Supreme Court has sometimes been especially friendly to business.

Choose one of the rights from Amendments four, five, six, or eight that you feel is particularly important to life in the United
AveGali [126]

The 5th Amendment states that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation"

This is important as it means that, amongst other things, the Government can't make you provide testimony against yourself.

For instance, in Rochin v. California, the Supreme Court held that cops couldn't beat you until you vomited up the drugs you swallowed to hide from the cops. They ruled that the police officers violated the suspect's 5th amendment rights.
