The Constitution and its Amendments have been upheld for centuries with minimal

changes being made to it. Our world has grown and changed which means our rights
and freedoms should change with the times. Most of the Amendments still remain
because of how well they still apply today. The rights and needs of the citizens are very
important, so Amendments protecting those rights stay in the Bill of Rights. Some
though focused on the times where we were in wars almost every year and now that
the country is more stable there is no need for certain amendments that detail what
soldiers can and can’t do as well as forcing citizens to help. As our world has changed
our needs and knowledge has changed as well. Good health care, equality, and
education are things that have become pressing issues in these days and times. They
have become forethoughts for our new amendments.

Amendment I (One)
Congress shall make no law disrespecting a race, ethnicity, gender, and establishment of
religion —​no religion can put someone's welfare or life in danger in the name of the
religion​— or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
Government for a redress of grievance.

Amendment II (Two)
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the
people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.​ If and when the subject has
committed to acquiring the required training and safety protocol associated with that

created​ to give citizens the opportunity to fight back against a tyrannical federal

required, but is offered free to all of those who want to follow that path. Taxation will

half.
Amendment X (Ten)
All persons born or naturalized in the country have the right to the highest attainable
standard of health without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or
social condition.

In the time from when the bill of rights was first written priorities for the american
people have adapted overtime. The concept of a prosperous life has changed and
healthcare has been identified as a necessity to the long stability of life. Especially this
year is when the world has come to value their health and the need for healthcare. It
may not have been a priority or even a concept the founders may have valued but as we
have seen over the years healthcare costs have increased tremendously causing a burden
for those in financial difficulty. We have decided we would like to have the citizens of
our country live peacefully in a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.
That it is in fact the government's job to provide and protect the basic right to a well
being.
