I think that the most important amendment for the US citizens is the first for several reasons. The first amendment gives us the right to speak freely, practice religion freely, publish in the press freely, and to assemble freely. But some of the other amendments have become not important anymore. I think that the first is most important, followed by the fifth (right to trial), the fourth (search and seizure regulated), the second (right to bear arms), and the least important is the third (quartering of homes by soldiers illegalized).
I believe that the first amendment is the most important because it gives the people the right of speech, religion, press, and assembly. It gives us the right to speak out, to practice whatever religion we want without another person's input against it, to publish anything freely, and to gather many people to talk about an issue. From the order greatest to least importance, I would put it: 1st, 4th, 5th, 2nd, and then the 3rd.
In my opinion, the first amendment is the most important to the U.S. It grants basic rights that everyone should have and it makes U.S. citizens' lives easier. It gives us the right to speak freely, publish news in things such as papers and magazines, practice any religion, petition to the government, and assemble in public to protest. I think that the next most important amendment is the forth, followed by the second, then the fifth, and finally the third.
I believe that the first amendment (freedom of speech) is the most important for several reasons, for one we should be able to speak our mind or we are not far from a dictatorship. aside from that I also believe it is the most important because without opinions there are no ideas and without ideas there is no progression, and progression is what keeps a country stable. followed by the fourth (search and seizure regulated), the fifth (right to trial), the second (right to bear arms), then the third (quartering of homes by soldiers illegalized)
In my perspectives i believe that the first amendment is the most important. This allows us the rights to speak, religion, press, and assembly.Those four things made a huge difference in America. I couldnt imagine if we couldn't say what we wanted, we would be like robots. Although there may be consequences, people still have rights, U.S. citizens that is. In order from greatest importance to least, I would put it 1st, 5th, 4th, 2nd, and then 3rd.
I think that the 5th amendment and the First are tied for importance. The reason for my opinion is that before the 5th amendment police officers could frighten the suspects when they were first arrested him/her. With that amendment the suspects had the right to silence and they could hear their own rights. The 1st amendment was the most important for regular citizens because it gave them the rights which have now become the definition of american society. Citizens could now give protest, they had the right to assemble, the press could print what they wanted as long as it wasn't slander, Also, they could form petitions for the government, and finally they could practice whatever religion they wanted. It goes 1st, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd.
I believe that the first amendment was te most important because it gave us, americans, most of the rights that we still have today.The first amendment gave us the Freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly,and petition.These five freedoms are what make us who we are. It is very important that we have these or our country wouldnt be able to do a lot of things that most of us do everyday. For example everyone in this country wouldnt be able to choose their own religion and what they really believe in. From greatest to least important I ordered the amendments...first, fifth, second, fourth, then finally the third.
I think that the first amendment is the most important, because it gives American citizens freedoms that several other countries' citizens do not have. All of the freedoms— freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition— have helped the United States become the country it is today. The second most important amendment is the fifth one, because it protects citizens in court, then the fourth, because it protects the citizens from being searched unreasonably in their own homes. The next most important is the right to bear arms (second amendment), because while having that right is important, being protected in your home and in court is more important to me. Finally, I think the fifth most important out of the five is the third amendment, because quartering wouldn't happen much nowadays even without the amendment.
In my opinion though all the amendments are vitally important the first one is the most important. This is the most important amendment to me because I find it to be the building block or base for the other amendments. Without the freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition then the other amendments would have no proper affect. I think the order from greatest importance to least is the first amendment, then the fifth which is protection from the government, followed by the fourth which is protection from unreasonable violations of privacy, then comes the third which prohibits, in peacetime, the quartering of soldiers in private homes without the owner's consent and then the second amendment which is the right to bear arms.
I think that the most important amendment is the first amendment because the first is the reason everybody wants to come to this country. We, in america have the right to speak freely, and that is what other countries admire about our country. I also think that the third amendment is also important because if that wasn't made then we would all have soldiers entering our house and living with us for free. I would hate to wake up to soldier eating breakfast at my kitchen table.
i think that the first amendment would have to be the most important amendment out of the five. the first amendment gives american free speech, freedom of religion, the press, and assembly. this is a important amendment in our history because it what i feel makes us Americans, its what sets us apart from other foreign countries.in order from what i thought was most important to least important, the first amendment, then the fifth, then the fourth, then the second, followed by the third.
1st Amendment:
Gives you the ability to exercise your religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press
2nd Amendment:
This amendment gives the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
3rd Amendment:
This Amendment states that, “No soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner nor in time of war but in a manner to be prescribed by law”.
4th Amendment:
The 4th amendment shows that you have to have probable cause to search someone or something.
5th Amendment:
This protects against abuse of government authority in a legal procedure.
I think that out of all 5 amendments, the order of most important or least is:
1. 1st Amendment
2. 3rd Amendment
3. 4th Amendment
4. 5th Amendment
5. 2nd Amendment
I think that the 1st Amendment is the most important because back then when people were not able to exercise their religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, it was very hard because they were so against this and they thought that it wasn’t right that they couldn’t do what they wanted and they had to follow the laws. My reasoning for putting the 2nd Amendment last was because that this is a very important Amendment but I think that there are more Amendments that are more important from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Amendments.
In my opinion, I think that the first Amendment, which gives that freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, and Petition. This is important because it allows you to be able to speak with no restrains (but maybe consequences), allows you to be able to practice any religion, publish and show what you want, gather an assembly without restraint, and be able to make petitions. I think that the first Amendment is the most important, then in second is the Fifth Amendment (Due Process), then in third is the Fourth Amendment (Searches and Seizures), then in fourth is the Second Amendment (Bearing Arms), then lastly is the Third Amendment (Quartering of Troops). I think that the Fifth Amendment is the least important out of the five because it isn't common nowadays, and more common back when American was a new country.
I think the the most important amendment out of the first five is the first amendment. I thinks this because the first amendment grants four rights but the others only grant one. These four important are important because no one should be able to take away the right to exercise their religion, voice, press and assembly. All are fairly important like the four amendment that helps people feel secure in the homes. In order I would say the first, fourth, fifth, fourth and last third.
I believe the most important amendment for the US citizens is the first. The first amendment says the people have the right of free speech, free press, religion, assembly, and petition. This is a very important amendment because it allows you to speak freely, the right to publish news, information, and opinions, to establish a whatever religion you want, and the right to gather in public to march, protest, demonstrate, carry signs and otherwise. Without the first amendment I think people would be very quiet because without the first amendment Martin Luther King Jr. had his freedom of speech by talking to the public about racism. By having the freedom of speech he made a huge difference in America, but he wouldn't have been able to do this if the first amendment hadn't been created.
I think that the most Important Amendment is the first one, for a few different reasons. First is that the 1st amendment states that United States citizens have the freedom of speech. The first reason I think that freedom of speech is the most important right in our society is because it seperates people and their different personalities. IF people have the right of speech then they can express themselves and have a very strong country. Also the right of freedom of religion and to assemble freely are all very important to accomplishing a strong and united country.
In my opinion, the first amendment is the most important out of the five amendments. The first amendment is the most important because it grants rights of religion, speech, press and assembly. In order of importance I believe it is, 1st amendment (most important), 4th amendment, 5th amendment, 2nd amendment, and 3rd amendment (least important). However, I believe that all of these amendments are extremely important.
I think the 1st amendment is the most important amendment because freedom of religion, speech, press, and assembly are what make us a unique nation. It's the reason why people come to our country from Mexico, Cuba, and a ton of other countries. Also, without this right, we would not have been able to advance as a people like we have. The amendment allows us to state our opinion, which gives more and more people new thoughts and ideas.
The most important amendment is the first one. This is why everyone wants to come to our country. Freedom of speech is very important. It is the amendment that will will not become unimportant anymore. The second most important is the second (right to bear arms), then the fifth (trial and punishment),then the fourth (search and seizure), then the third (quartering of soldiers). Some of the amendments are not important anymore.
In my opinion, although all the other amendments are vitally important to our nation, the first amendment is the most imperative to the United States. This is the most important amendment in my eyes because i find it to be the "base" for our basic civil rights. Who would the people in our nation today be without freedom of speech, press, assembly, and religion? Our country would not be able to function properly without the ability to say how you feel or ensure any religion you desire. I feel that the most important amendments (in order) in the bill of rights are: the first, then the fifth, followed by the fourth, the third, and finally the second. Overall, each amendment is important to the United States function of society, and without them our country would be a hazardous wreck.
I think that the most important of the first five amendment rights given was the first amendment. this amendment offered the right to freedoms, the right to assembly, and the right to petition against a government. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." I think that this amendment is the most important because it gives the country of America what makes it great: the ability to believe what you want, do what you want about it, and speak your mind about it. the ability to publicize any information you think your fellow Americans should know; the ability to get together, as citizens, to try fix a problem, or petitioning against this issue so it doesn't stay a problem. i think the first amendment is the most important. i think the fourth amendment, the right to search and arrest, is second most important, because it grants people the right to be secure in their identity and ownerships. i think the third most important amendment is the fifth amendment. it claims that, in simpler words, a man is innocent until proven guilty. this means that if the word of one man is put against the word of another, an innocent man won't be convicted for a crime he did not commit. I think the third amendment, the quartering of soldiers, is the next most important. i think the least important is the right to bear arms. i believe this because, put simply, if nobody had guns, nobody would need guns.
In my opinion I think that the most important amendment is the first one; Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion and Petition. The reason I think that this is the most important one is because without freedom of religion you wouldnt be able to practice the religion of your choice, without freedom of speech you wouldnt be able to say what you are thinking and with out this a lot of your thoughts would go un- heard. I think that the order of the amendments from most imporatant to least important would be 1st, 4th, 2nd, 5th, and 3rd
I think the most important is the first amendment. It gives the freedom of speech. Also the right to say what you want in the press, the right to practice religion, and the right to assemble. It is really important to be able to speak freely and not get arrested. Many other places don't have that and people are not happy and might be put in jail because they show how they feel. All of the part in the first amendment allow someone to express their feeling ad beliefs. In order from greatest to least is first, fifth, fourth, second, and then third.
I think that the most important amendment is the first. The first amendment states the right of free speech,the right of press, the right of assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. This is the most important amendment because it gives each citizen of the United States the right to be there own person and to believe in whatever they want.
The second most important is the fourth (search and seizure regulated), then the third (quartering of homes by soldiers illegalized), then the fifth (right to trial), then the second (right to bear arms).
I think that the first amendment is the most important because it gives us the rights to free press, speech, assembly, and in my opinion the most important, religion. Religion dictates the way we live or lives so the fact that we are free to practice and religion is an extremely important right. I think that if i were going to put the first 5 amendments from order of most important to least i would say 1st, 5th,4th,2nd, and lastly 3rd because i don't believe that having the quartering of homes of soldiers being illigalized is that important compared to the rest.
I would have to say that the first amendment is the most important out the first five amendments on the Bill of Rights. I feel that the freedom of speech, the press, expression, assembly, petition, and religion are the most important because if the government and/or state had not passed this amendment, the government system could easily become an oligarchy. This government system can easily lead to a revolution by "the people", like a tyranny. I feel that the order of importance for the amendments is: #1, the first amendment; #2, the fourth amendment because it basically allows privacy; #3, the third amendment because it is also centered on privacy; #4, the fifth amendment; and #5 the second amendment.
I believe that the first amendment, freedom of speech is the most important because you have a say in the government and nobody can tell you otherwise. You can also speak out freely with out somebody putting you in jail for your beliefs. Then the 5th(right to trial),the fourth (search and seized regulated), the third quartering of homes by soldiers illegalized) then the third(right to bare arms).
I believe that the most important amendment for U.S. citizens is the first amendment, Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression because the people should be able to express what ever they would like. If this would not be in place America may be close to a dictatorship.
I think that this is the order of the first 5 amendments from most important to least important.
#1. 1st: Freedom of Religion, Press, and Expression.
#2. 3rd: Quartering of Soldiers
#3. 4th: Search and Seizure
#4. 5th: Trial and Punishment, Compensation for Takings
#5. 2nd: Right to Bear Arms
I believe that the most important amendment is the first one (Freedoms, petitions, assembly) for a few reasons. It is the most important because it gives citizens the right to study there own religion, freedom of speech, and for people to peaceful assemble. From the order greatest to least importance my list is: 1st, 5th, 4th, 2nd, 3rd.
First Amendment - an amendment to the Constitution of the United States guaranteeing the right of free expression; includes freedom of assembly and freedom of the press and freedom of religion and freedom of speech. I believe this is the most important amendment out of the first five because although everything else is important i personally believe freedom of speech and religion are essential to every American citizen. Without freedom of speach we would all be controlled by others and not be able to speak for oursleves. Without freedom of religion no one would be able to follow the religion that they believe in, but follow religions there forced to believe in.
I think that the first amendment (freedom of religion and speech) is the most important amendment because of how much more this amendment gives U.S. citizens compared to other countries. Without the first amendment, America would be nothing close to as free as it is. With freedom of speech citizens in America are granted any decision they would like throughout the country be it political, religious, or overall views on society. Also, because of the first amendment, there are many people from around the world that try their hardest to be part of this country due to the amount of freedom to believe in much more than they're even allowed in their other countries. Following the first amendment, as I see it the other amendments would be listed in this order based on importance: the fourth amendment (right to stay protected from being searched without a warrant), the fifth amendment (the rights in court), the second amendment (the right to bear arms), and then the third amendment (not to house soldiers).
Out of the first five amendments the 1st amendment is the most important because it gives us the right to speak freely. this lets people be able to express your self with out consequences. in order from best to worst for the fist five amendments it would be 1,2,5,4,3.
All Amendments are important.That being said, I believe that the most important amendment is the 4th amendment. As a U.S. citizen I believe that is very important to have some sort of privacy and a person with authority should not be allowed to just search your property.Close behind the 4th is the 1st amendment. It essential for a country to have freedom.Then the 5th and 2nd amendments. And lastly the 3rd amendment.
I think the the most important amendment out of the first five is the first amendment. I thinks this because the first amendment grants four rights but the others only grant one. These four important are important because no one should be able to take away the right to exercise their religion, voice, press and assembly. All are fairly important like the four amendment that helps people feel secure in the homes. In order I would say the first, fourth, fifth, fourth and last third.
I think that the most important amendment is the first one for multiple reasons. My first reason is because if gave people the right of speech, religion, press, and assembly which is very important. It gives us the right to practice whatever religion we would like, and speak out what we have to say. From the order greatest to least importance, to me it would be:1st, 5th, 4th, 2nd, and then 3rd.
I believe that the first amendment is the most important because it protects the freedom of religion, speech, and the press, as well as the right to assemble and petition the government. It gives us the freedom of expression; to give us a voice in our country and to show our opinions. The one that I feel is second most important is the fourth amendment, then the second, third and fifth.
The first amendment is the most important because it gives us the right off free speech. Another reason this is important is because it gives us the freedom of religion, which is important in keeping citizens happy. The order I placed them in was The First Amendment, The 4th Amendment, The 3rd Amendment, The 5th Amendment, and lastly the 2nd Amendment.
The First Amendment, the right of free speech is the most important because it lets you chose your religion and practice it freely, it allows you to print what you want in the papers, it lets you speak up for yourself without punishment, and it lets you have public assemblies. Then the Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Third Amendment, and finally the Second Amendment.
I think the most importat amendment is the first amendment stating that the people have freedom of expression, religion, and press. This is the most important because if we didn't have this amendment then we would have chaos around the whole nation. Nothing would be right and we would not be one nation and we might be separated from north and south again. The order I would put the amendments in is the first amendment (freedom of religion, press, and expression), the fifth amendment (Trial ad punishment, compensation for takings), the second amendment (right to bear arms) , the fourth amendment (Search and seizure), and then the third amendment (Quartering of soldiers).
I think that the most important amendment is by far the first it gives Americans their right to free speech and religion which pretty much makes America what it is today a nation made up of many different people who are free to do as they wish without the government placing restrictions on them. I think the first amendment is most important followed by the fourth the fifth the second and finally the third.
i think the most important amendment of the first five is the first. The first amendment grants us the right to speak freely, practice religion freely, publish in the press freely, and to assemble freely. Because of this amendment all citizens receive the right to be allowed to express themselves and say what they want without getting in trouble with the law. The four others in the first five amendments of the bill of rights, to me would go first, fifth, second, fourth, and lastly, third.
The first five amendments consist of the First Amendment: freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of belief, and freedom of the press, the Second Amendment: the Right to Bear Arms, the Third Amendment: basically stating that soldiers are only allowed to accommodate houses of citizens in times of war, not peacetime, the Fourth Amendment: prohibits searches and seizures unless warranted by "probable cause" (which is reason to suspect/believe another(s) of mischief), and last, but not least, the Fifth Amendment: it prevents abuse by the government and its officials. I think that the most important out of the five is the First Amendment because the First Amendment is what makes America so unique, so special, so FREE. There have been and are many countries where one cannot express their own opinion which goes against the central government such as North Korea or the CPC where when an individual objected or challenged the one(s) in charge, they would simply disappear. People from other countries swim, boat, float, run, hop fences, and even sneak past border patrol just to get the rights that America grants to its citizens. In my honest opinion, I would list the amendments in order of most important to least important as: the First Amendment because it grants citizens their right to individualism, the Fourth Amendment because it protects all citizen's rightful privacy and property, the Fifth Amendment because it prevents the government from abusing their power and defeating the purpose of having "United States" as opposed to "Central-Government Run America", the Second Amendment in order for humanity to protect itself against dangers in general (there will always be bad seeds and bestial occurrences wherein artillery is necessary), and the Third Amendment because I find that promissory statements regarding citizen's abodes aren't exactly "important" and that we should show hospitality towards the people who serve for our nation, but I understand why this amendment was passed.
In my opinion, the first amendment is the most important. The first amendment allows us to have freedom of speech, press, religion, and assembly. It gives us the right to speak freely, assemble as we wish, be whatever religion we are, and to abridge freedom of press. From greatest importance to least, it would be the first amendment, then second "right to bear arms," the fourth amendment which is "search and seizure," then the fifth which is "trial and punishment, and compensation for takings," and last is the third amendment which is the "quartering of soldiers."
I think that the most important amendment for the united states citizens is the first for many reasons. The first amendment gives us the right to speak freely, practice religion freely, publish in the press freely, and to assemble freely. But some of the other amendments have become not important anymore. I think that the first is most important then the 2nd, 4th, 5th and the least important on is the 5th.
I definitely believe that the first amendment is the most important amendment. The first amendment is the most important amendment in my opinion because America would be different without it. If we didn't have freedom of speech, then we would not be allowed to share our opinions and express our thoughts. If we weren't allowed to practice different religions, there would not be diversity and we would not have traditions that make us who we are. This amendment allows us to have a voice. In order of importance, it would be: 1st, 5th, 4th, 2nd, and 3rd.
I strongly feel that the first amendment is most crucial and important. I think this because it gives you 4 rights in one amendment, those rights being speech, religion, press, and assembly. I believe that these are very basic rights that every United States citizen deserves and I don't know what we would do without this amendment. Freedom of speech is very important because it grants you the right to speak what you wish. Freedom of religion is also very important because people deserve the right to practice whatever religion they desire. If I were to order the first five amendments from greatest to least, I would order them as followed: 1st, 4th, 5th, 2nd, and then 3rd.
1. 1st Amendment (freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, and Petition)
2. 2nd Amendment (Due Process)
3. 4th Amendment (Searches and Seizures)
4. 5th Amendment (Bearing Arms)
5. 3rd Amendment (Quartering of Troops)
I think that the first amendment is the most important because it gives freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech you wouldn’t be able to speak out in public about your own ideas. Freedom of speech also associates with freedom of press assembly and petition. Freedom of religion is also very important because when I think of our country’s people I think of a very diverse place with people of all ethnicities and religions. The second is due process. And then search and seizures. I think search and seizures are pretty important because without it you would not be able to collect evidence. The fourth one I chose was bearing arms. Bearing arms isn’t as important today as it was back when the amendment was made. Back then guns were used for hunting etc. Now you need a license to own a gun. And the last one I find almost little to no use. Quartering of the troops. Yes, I see how it was useful back during the revolutionary war where the troops needed places to stay but now I don’t see soldiers walking up to houses and saying “the third amendment says I can stay here” because the homeowners now have rights that say that they don’t have to accept.
1st Amendment gives you the right to exercise your religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press
2nd Amendment gives the right the to bear arms. 3rd Amendment
This Amendment says No soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner nor in time of war but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
4th Amendment need to have probable cause to search someone. 5th Amendment protects us from abuse of government authority in a legal procedure.
I think they are all in the right order.
I think that the first amendment in the Bill of rights is the most important because it gives people the right to speak freely (with certain limitations), allows them to publish their opinions in writing, practice their religion freely, and assemble however they want. These are major rights to have because without the expression of your true opinion, you really have no freedom at all. The first amendment outlines the rights you need for true freedom. I would order the importance of the amendments in the following order:
1. 1st amendment
2. 4th amendment
3. 5th amendment
4. 3rd amendment
5. 2nd amendment
I think that the first amendment is the most important because it grants us our freedom of religion, speech, and the press, as well as the right to assemble and petition the government. The next most important is the 4th (Prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and sets out requirements for search warrants based on probable cause.)
Third 5th (Sets out rules for indictment by grand jury and eminent domain, protects the right to due process, and prohibits self-incrimination and double jeopardy.)And the least two important are the 2nd (Protects the right to keep and bear arms)and the 3rd (Prohibits the forced quartering of soldiers out of war time.)
I believe that the most important amendment of the first five is the first amendment. I believe that the first amendment is the most important because gave people the freedom
I think that the first amendment is the most important because it gives us the right to freedom, which is more important than anything else on the bill of rights. then, from most to least important it would be the fifth, second, fourth and last, the third.
I believe that the first amendment is the most important amendment because it gives you rights that everyone should have in this country like the freedom of speech, assembly, and religion. Without these rights, our country would be in trouble. Then i believe that the fifth, then the fourth, then the second and the last which is the third.
I believe that the most important amendment in the bill of rights was the first amendment. The first amendment was the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion,freedom of the press... I think that it is the most important amendment in the Bill of Rights because it really lets you exercise your rights by letting you say what you want but under some conditions, or being able to practice what ever religion you wish to worship, or as the press to write what every you want about some but only if it is true.
I think the most important amendment was the first amendment. i think this one was important because it gives people the right of speech, religion, and press. People can practice whatever religion they want, when they want. People can speak freely and speak out.
I think the most important amendment was the first amendment. i think this one was important because it gives people the right of speech, religion, and press. People can practice whatever religion they want, when they want. People can speak freely and speak out.
To me, personally I think that the first amendment is most important. The first amendment is the freedom of speech. This sets America apart from other countries because people can say what the want when they want and to who they want as oppose to other countries where you could be locked up or killed. The first amendment really allows you to express yourself and even better the government with your opinions. Of course there are some restrictions such as libel or slander.
I think the most important amendment is the First Amendment because in the First Amendment is the right to Freedom of Speech and the Freedom of Press. I think that the Freedom of Speech is more important nowadays because this amendment says you can say whatever you want, with limitations. If I was writing this around 120 years ago, I would think that the Freedom of Press is more important because it was the main way people got news around the nation.
