Recommended: Importance of the press

If I could only choose one freedom to have I would probably choose Due processing. Although it would not have not normally been my first choice I think it is the most sensible one. My first thought was I would want freedom of religion. Religion is something that is very big in my life and I love going to church. Then I started thinking and talking to a few people and they made that point that without Due Possessing we could still be killed by others that did not like the religion that we had chosen and they could get away with it and not have any punishment. At least if there is a due process they could be tried and punish according to the law. They would get what they deserve. This process protects people but also will give them the correct …show more content…

It makes people so mad when other make a mistake and accuse a person of doing something that they did not do, but if people would just take a step back they could see how good the system is doing for other people. This system has done a good job of protection people on both sides of the law. In the fifth amendment there are fore things that it protects. It protects the freedom of the Press, the freedom of Religion, the freedom of Speech, and the freedom Due Process. Due process is something the gives people a changes to explain themselves, it gives them the right to be treated as a human no matter what they did. It lets people have a chance to prove that they did not do not do something just in case that they did not. Although I love this country and I am very grateful that we are a free country. I am very thankful for everyone that has fought for our country to be free, and to the people that took the time to wright the constitution. I feel that we could still be a country without the other freedoms that I have talked about in the paper. With due process I feel that our country could not really be a country. I think that either the government could over step their boundaries and the people that live in this country could over step their

  • 4th Amendment Research Paper

    720 Words  | 2 Pages

    Privacy comes at a cost. It brings people who fight for the people the privacy of others when it is violated together. Cops not being able to search when they seize a cell phone makes them risk their lives because how people these days are, there could be bombs in the phone. Even though this amendment was ratified, people to this day still don’t have privacy they rightfully deserve. This effects me because I’m able to keep special information to myself. Also, if a police pulls over a family member and ask for their phone to investigate without giving a proper reason or having a warrant, that family member could say no. If a police hasn’t given you a good reason to hand something over, you have the right to resist or else the police are being unconstitutional. This amendment gives people the safety to do what they want(that’s legal). It also makes life better, but harder. Life is harder with this amendment because you have to watch out for who you trust that they won’t do anything to jeopardize your safety. This is relevant because a man in Indiana was tracked down by a GPS. It didn’t violate his 4th Amendment because the police got a warrant to put a tracking device in his mom’s car. This case represents how technology gives advantages and disadvantages. An advantage was that they were able to track him down for a burglary. The disadvantage would be that if they hadn’t gotten a warrant, he could have filed a lawsuit against

  • Revision of the Eighth Amendment

    887 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Bill of Rights is a very important document to American citizens. The Bill of Rights is the beginning part of the American Constitution which is made of the first ten amendments which state our basic rights as United States’ citizens. It ensures us of our freedoms that cannot be taken away from us. However, I do believe that there is a certain amendment out of the ten that should be revised; this would be the Eighth Amendment. The Eighth Amendment reads “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted.” (Legal Dictionary). I believe that this is the only amendment that needs to be revised in the Bill of Rights. I think that if someone was to commit a horrendous crime that excessive bail and fines or cruel and unusual punishments could be necessary in some extreme cases. I am not saying that it is okay that someone should be beheaded, burned alive, or being dissected publically (Cornell Law), but some more minor things could be in ways acceptable. However, I do find it very reasonable to hold someone with excessive bails and/or fines. I think that it is very fair if the government was to hold a bail or fine that is extremely high on someone if they commit certain crimes. If I were personally able to rewrite the Eighth Amendment I would write it as “Excessive bail or fines should not be imposed unless it fits the crime committed, cruel and unusual punishment should also not be imposed unless the need was to arise where the crime was extreme enough for all the jury members should agree on a cruel or unusual punishment.” I think that the Eighth Amendment should be revised because of the extreme crimes that are now being committed are far worse to those compared to...

    Firstly, the courts could save money by not having to provide public attorneys to those who cannot afford to obtain a private attorney. Secondly, police would not be held accountable if they arrest a subject without stating why and/or question them before Mirandizing them. In my opinion, the Sixth amendment is one that holds a great value of importance to accused individuals. Should it not exist, the number of individuals wrongly or unusually incarcerated in the United States would be significantly higher and the Nation would be taking steps away from having a just criminal justice

  • Pros And Cons Of Habeas Corpus

    567 Words  | 2 Pages

    Even in this modern day, your rights are not always secured. During wartime, the government can suspend Habeas Corpus, which prevents unfair arrests and punishments. Suspending Habeas Corpus is taking your rights to a fair trial, and throwing them in the trash. As you are probably assuming, the suspension of habeas corpus has been a controversial topic. You must also be asking yourself, “why take away the people's’ rights, wasn’t the United States built on the rights of citizens?”. Some people see that suspending Habeas Corpus could be useful during a war because it allows someone to quickly be prosecuted, with only the need for probable cause, while other people see it as an unnecessary check on American citizens’ rights.

    The Six Amendment is very often under-evaluated and little attention is paid to its importance. It extended the rights of defendants and even though not all of the rights granted by it are absolute, the freedom of choice and right for fair and speedy trial protect the fairness of the procedures. Liberty cannot long exist under the government that is not effectively forbidden to take unfair advantages of an accused. It is always harder to control the government that government controls. The Sixth Amendment was designed to seize the heavy hands of federal power and put the rights of the accused beyond the reach of government.

  • The Importance Of The US Constitution

    1142 Words  | 3 Pages

    While we have a constitution that lays out our clear cut civil liberties and all the rights we possess, other countries chose to restrict those freedoms. Due to the many advantages the Constitution gives each American citizen, the US has been able to keep this document intact as long as they have while other countries have to constantly restructure their government principles. This stability leads to greater efficiency in our legislative process and a strong sense of national pride. For a nation filled with differences and mixed opinions, the Constitution is a perfect fit. It was written as unbiased as possible to ensure that it was not limiting anyone or anything, instead, giving each citizen the ability to keep their government in check and grant freedom to everyone. During the time the document was written was when the Colonist knew exactly what it felt like to live in a world of oppression and unjust government. As a result, Madison and the other leaders at the time made it a goal to put the power in the hands of the people and make freedom an utmost priority. With an Unbiased approach to government that gives no advantage to one group or another, and with amendments that only help citizens take control, the Constitution is what the early colonist left Europe and died
