Amendment one

I chose amendment one for this post. The main idea of ammendment one is to have freedom of religion, speech, and press. This amendment is important to me because I go to church and without this amendment the government could tell me not to go.

The 1st amendment

The first amendment is mainly talking about freedom.It's talking about freedom of religion,freedom of speech and the press,and also has the right to gather and the right to talk to the government.The first amendment of the bill of right let's us have freedom and rights.Another reason I chose the 1st amendment because it gives us free religion and rights to everyone.That is why I chose the 1st amendment.

Amendment 8

Original Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Summary:You can oppose bail that is too high or that should not have been charged. People also cannot be given cruel and unusual punishment because it is illegal. This bail interested me because it is a necessary amendment and should be taken seriously; not just by people and not just by the state itself, but by the world as one.

7th amendment

Amendment 8


You can't excessively keep bailing someone out over and over. The judge can't give a big excessive bond. The judge can't make cruel and unusual punishments. The judge can't give stiff fines. Thats good so they have a chance to get out. But i also think it's bad because if they do something bad they have a chance to get out of jail. I chose this amendment because it interested me. It interested me because it was about bonds and I watch shows about bondsman.
