In my opinion the five most important rights are part of the first, fourth, fifth and sixth amendment;

1. Freedom of Religion

Every person shall be able to choose the religion he believes in, because I think that nobody should be forced to practice a religion he doesn't want to be part of. For the most part laws and prohibitions exist to protect a country and his citizens. Freedom of religion doesn't hurt anybody, so it wouldn't make sense to prohibit it.


2. Freedom of Speech

Everybody should be allowed to talk about their opinions in public. If this privilege would not be given anymore, everyone would be forced to have certain opinions, for example the opinions of the government. As long as public speeches don’t result in personal disadvantage, everybody has to have the right of freedom of speech.


3. Search and Seizure

To save everyone’s freedom it is important that there is a law which allows search and seizure but it is even more important to have a law against unreasonable searches and seizures. Therefore there has to be a specific description of the place and the person who will be searched or seized.


4. Trial and Punishment

There has to be a punishment for breaking the law and this punishment has to be appointed by an impartial judge. The 5th amendment also means that nobody can be punished twice for the same felony.


5. Right to speedy Trial, Confrontation of Witnesses

It is everyone’s right to know the reason why he is accused and who the witnesses against him are. Also of great importance is, that every accused is allowed to have a counsel and witnesses for his defence.
