Stuff


 
I chose the 1st and the 2nd Amendments because in my belief are some of the most important.
The first amendment is the belief that you have a certain set of freedoms, speech, religion, press, etc. “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.”  Every United States Citizen has a certain set of god given rights, these rights cannot be infringed by the government without committing treason to ones own country.
This amendment basically gives an individual the right to express themselves in the way they choose without being discriminated against for it. 

                The Second Amendment and probably my personal favorite, gives an individual the right to bear arms and assemble a militia.  Assembling a militia can literally be used to overthrow a corrupt government similar to our own.  This amendment also gives individuals the right to own guns and display them openly being perfectly within the law.
