3. Select the Right from the Bill of Rights (first 10 Amendments on pp 199-200) that you think is most important. Explain why you think so.

             I believe out of the first ten amendments the most important one and reasonable one is the first amendment. The first amendment written was “The amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the Freedom of speech, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.”  I believe the most important part of this amendment is that they prohibit making of any law respecting an establishment of a law. I believe this is the most important part of the amendment because if one of the most important people had the authority to control mostly anything believes in a certain religion and says that all other people that don’t believe in the same religion as me shall die. That’s just cruelty towards other peoples religion. Another important peace to this amendment is what I believe to be is the rights of freedom of speech. If people didn’t have the right to say whatever they can and if they didn’t have the rights to do that some of the things we have today might not exist. For a big example if Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t say what he thought of segregation then all races could still possible be still separated. Even though he spoke what he wanted to and possibly died from it, he has done good in our world.
