I would tell America’s founding fathers how grateful I am
for all the amendments, and also how I think some things could have been
changed. I think that a lot of amendments could have been changed or tweaked so
that they would work more in our benefit. I also think that some of them are
perfect and have really worked in the United States favor as well.
I am very thankful for freedom of speech, freedom of
religion, freedom of press and the right to assemble and petition the
government. If it was not for freedom of speech we would not be able to protest
and share are opinions and what we think is right. If it wasn’t for the freedom
of religion we would not be able to go to whatever church we want people would
have to tell us what church to go to wether we were that religion or not. If it
was not for the freedom of press we would not be able to talk about certain
events and then people wouldn’t know about it. If it was not for the right to
assemble and petition the government we would not be able to sign petitions and
state our opinions. Another amendment that I am grateful for is the right to
bear arms because it was not for the right to bear arms we would be unable to
keep firearms to protect ourselves. The amendment to prohibit the forced
quartering of soldiers during peace time is a good thing to because they won’t
make you become a soldier in a war.
Some Amendments I am not so grateful for are that they
prohibit excessive fines and excessive bail as well as cruel and unusual
punishment because no matter how bad you hurt someone or kill someone nobody
deserves to be treated that way no matter how evil or disgusting they are. I
also don’t agree with the prohibition of alcohol because it doesn’t work people
drink when they want to.
