Question

Using your Webtext and the supplemental resource featured this week, select two (2) U.S. Constitution amendments from the Bill of Rights. Then, in your own words, write a 200 to 500 word response on what they mean to you.

Answer 1

Answer:

1st Amendment: Freedom of religion, speech and the press.

4th Amendment: Protection from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Explanation:

• The first amendment manifests freedom of practising any religion, forming an opinion, and a neutral press. The U.S had various religions but Christians were in the majority, therefore, a feeling of vulnerability was present in the other religions. And to ensure that no one would get harmed because of practising a different religion first amendment was made along with that, the first amendment also ensured that no one would be stopped from forming an opinion and the press wouldn't be exploited by the elites.
• The fourth amendment was aimed to stop elites or even rivals using the police force as a means to harm others. We have heard about the cases of that time which shows that police used to harass public with a general warrant. So, for me, this is as bad as any crime. Moreover, often police used to do it for their hidden purposes.
