My opinions on the Bill of rights

1) The Bill of Rights are rules that the people in the United States have to follow. It is also a way to show you what you can and can not do. They  

2)The amendments that are most important to me are freedom of speech, the right to a speedy trail and provision concerning prosecution. I think the freedom of speech is important because it says that no matter who you are you can say what's on your mind. You have the right to express your true feelings in any matter. The reason I think the right to a speedy trail is important is because in all criminal prosecutions, the accused should be able to stand in front of a jury with witnesses of the crime and plead guilty or not guilty. And that is also why I picked the provision concerning prosecution.

3)Over the past 200 years or rights have increased. Now anyone over the age or 18 can vote,m back then you had to be a rich white male landowner.

4)I don't think I would add any rights only because I think the US has enough to worry about. We have oil problems, some states such as pennsylvania has money issues etc.

5)I think we need all of these rights. These rights have been added because the people needed change. Now I think the people don't need change, they want it.
