Week 3

HAPPY LATE 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this weeks prompt, I think that admendment 3: Protection from quartering of troops is pretty important. It is because, after the boston tea party, the british forced the americans to quarter british troops in their houses.(Quater means to let them stay) This is still important because it prevents soldiers from getting tyranny and stay at people's houses.

Week 3

All of the amendments are necessary today. Without them, our country would be in chaos. One of the amendments is the fourth amendment. In this amendment, we are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures.
How would you like it if someone ran into your house to search it just because they suspect you of something? It wouldnt be very fair, especially if you didn't do anything. They would also have ruined your privacy. With the fourth amendment, many unnecessary searchings, such as these, are prevented.
Your house can only be searched if it is issued by the government and there is a warrant present.

Week 3

The United States, from the first day of its existence, has been a democracy, ruled by the people and social equality for all. For the nation to be a democracy, the people of the nation need rights to make sure that the government won't have too much power. The freedom of religion originated mainly when immigrants came to this country to escape religious persecution, and this has been an important part of the United States. The freedom of speech, press, and petition allow people to let the government know of their opinions so that it will be a country with laws that the majority would agree to. If these freedoms weren't given to us, the United States would soon turn into one with despotic rule, and this wouldn't be much different from when the country was under the rule of the British. That's why the first amendment is important to this country today. :)

NOT REALLY AN ACI THING...just wanted 2 type something :

HAPPY JULY 4TH PPL!!!(even thought i wz yesterday...) well i went 2 cal adventure and it wz kool GO WATCH WORLD OF COLORS!

July 4th (bill of rights)

I think that the Bill of Rights is necessary because without it we wouldn't have a democratic government. Monarchy would rule over us, and no one would have equal rights. These amendments let people speak freely, and give each other human equalities. This affects me because I have the freedom of civil liberty. If I lived in a monarchy, I wouldn't be granted equal rights as other people around me. Depending on my wealth and ranking, I would either be disgraced or praised. With the Bill of Rights, everyone is equal and no one would have more power than the other.

WEEK 3 :D

Well 1st of all, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! ;D haha

The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution because people feared that the Constitution as drafted would give the central government too much power and allow them to be tyrannic. When added, the Bill of Rights protected the rights of individual citizens. Years ago, that was the case, and to this day, that is STILL the case. The Bill of Rights is necessary to ensure the equality of everyone under the U.S. government. One of the 1st ten amendments is the right to keep and bear arms (2nd amendment). This amendment has been challenged many times in history but without it, we would not be able to keep weapons, not even for our own protection! What if robbers entered a house and were able to take whatever they wanted because the owners weren't allowed any weapons to defend their house with? That wouldn't be very fair now would it? >:( but don't worry, the 2nd amendment DOES allow us to keep and bear arms so haha three cheers for the BILL OF RIGHTS! ;)
