Own words/Real life
Right now lots of people are using their
right of Petition to protest for George Floyd.
We are allowed to own a firearm not to
shoot people but to protect yourself.
This is very important because it would be
a mess if any soldier could go into any
house to set up camp for war
Police need a warrant to be able to go
through your personal things and/or arrest
you which I believe is very important
When you are a suspect for a crime they
cannot say you are guilty until they can
prove which is very important because lots
of people get locked up that are actually
innocent.
When convicted of a crime or a suspect
you are able to have a fast trial in which
you can prove your innocence. Lots of
people cannot afford a lawyer to help them
fight their case so it's important they will be
appointed one if they cannot get their own.
The jury system is, in my opinion, great.
People who are in a trial have to convince
12 people to choose either guilty or
innocent. It is fair.
Punishments have to fit the crime and
within the constitution.
This amendment I feel is so important for
situations that go between the lines of the
constitution and you will feel safe since you
are protected.
The government could take over if they
weren’t limited so this is more than
important.
This is really important for people that don’t
even live in the U.S.
 them
