Answer:

The correct answer is  the Fourth Amendment.

Explanation:

King of England George III (1738-1820) had in his American colony a great source of income thanks to the numerous customs taxes collected from them but, the colonists found different ways to work around the taxes. In front of this, King George started to impose the "<em>writs of assistance</em>" which were sort of warrants with wide scope. British officials were able to search into places were they believed contraband goods were stored or to interrogate anybody who they believed guilty of trading them. The harassment was also one of the factors that led to the American Revolution  (1776) and later on, the creation of the American Constitution.

The Fourth Amendment of the United States of America establishes:

<em>“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”</em>
