Question

Carefully review the Bill of Rights. Which amendment do you think was most important to the people of the United States in 1791? Why? Which amendment is most important to us today? Why? (It is fine if you choose the same for both – just so long you explain your answers).

Answer 1

I think the 1st Amendment

Answer 2

The First Amendment is important to people of both periods of time because it protects our basic rights as U.S. citizens.
