My top ranked is "8: Ignored" because I think that the Fourth Amendment is important since without it police would be searching and taking your belongings without you wanting to or without permission. They would do as they please and they would do it anytime they want. Although there can be situations were they do that but that's because they are orders and they have a warrant.

My Number 10 choice is "7th: Eleventh Amendment" because its a states choice, they can have laws they feel is necessary to the state. It can help improve the economy or even help make people live happier which makes the state a better place. Even though some states don't agree with it doesn't mean that the state can't have that law. So it's not that important to me because again it's the STATES choice to have different rules than others states.

For Thomas Ryan's "10 Reasons the US Needs a New Constitution" I only thought that half of them were valid reasons. For the rest I just followed Ryan's list. My first and last reason are the same as his.
10. Rich Old White Guys
Ryan's argued that due to the lack of demographics the Constitution should be changed. It's a good reason, but I believed that there are more pressing reasons.
1. ...A lot has happened in 226 years.
Ryan says, "...the founding fathers couldn't have anticipated.." what has occurred or what is occurring presently. Technology is changing and being updated daily, so why isn't the Constitution evolving as well.

1.unequal: I agree with Thomas I feel that the constitution is not equal. Slavery should of went away a long time ago. The amendments don't follow up the rights we have should of led to slavery ending years ago.
2.greed:
3. Anti-corruption
4.Eleventh amendment
5.Ignored:
6.amendments
7. confederation
8.reason2
9.reason 1

2.)unequal
3.)Anti-Corruption
4.)Eleventh Amendment
5.)2nd Amendment
6.)Amendments
7.)Confederation
8.)Greed
9.)Ignored
10.)Rich white guys
the reason why i think the order it should in is like this because #1 everything is started to change even the constitution changes during time period. The unequality of people isnt fair and also these ideas
are main reasons why theres is a new constitution.the right to bear arms,confederation,and the amendments are all inclueded in governement and also to make a great governmet the constuition must not be corrupted

I think the 8th reason is the most important. I think this because I feel that our privacy is too important. Reason number 10 is the least important. I feel this way because it should not just be the white man who comes up with rights for everyone of every color should have a opinion on the matter.
