The 1-3 Amendments

1st Amendment- The 1st amendment prohibits the organization of a national or state wide religion nor does it hinder in the practice of any religions. It also allows freedom of speech and of press with the ability to peacefully assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Though this amendment does not say specifically separation of church and state, many times the term is interpreted into it. The freedom of religion however is an amazing privilege. "This was a revolutionary breakthrough for religious liberty, one of the most advanced statements in the world-then or even now."(America 121)

2nd Amendment- The 2nd amendment secures the fact that the nation will keep a well maintained militia and gives citizens the right to bear arms. This is important because in the Declaration of Independence, it calls the people who have the ability to take action, to do so. If bearing arms is necessary to defend the well being of the country it is a necessity of the people

3rd Amendment- The third amendment does not allow soldiers to be housed by a citizen without the consent of the home owner in a time of peace or war but in a manner prescribed by law. An example where this would be a factor was in the revolutionary war when British soldiers would live in the houses of the people and eat their food and sleep in their bed without anything the people could do. The fathers were not too happy when there were men in a house with his daughters either.
