I am a very strong believer in equality for all people and everyone having the same rights, so that is why this amendment is on the top of my list. I think this amendment should have been in the original bill or rights because everyone deserves to have the same opportunities, and be treated equally. 2. I believe that human imprisonment is a grave injustice and the fact that owning slaves was legal in this country at one time, makes me sick. I love my personal freedom and I believe everyone deserves freedom to control themselves, c0ome up with their own thoughts, and follow their own dreams, so the abolishment of slavery is a very important amendment to me. 3. I think that the right to vote for all people is very important, because are some people doing not have political representation, and then they often get taken advantage of, and lose parts of their freedom. Everyone deserves to have input on how the government is run and who is in control of the country, so that everyone is represented equally and no one is taken advantage of. -Part D1. I do not think there should be a time limit, because it something must be changed than it should be changed. Based on past history, and human nature, I know that change takes time and if something does need changing, it should not be stopped to expiration dates and time constraints. The founding fathers believed that slavery was wrong, but they didnt stop it in the original constitution because they had already made lots of compromises and they didnt want to lose the southern states. If they would have made it permanent that slavery was legal, in the original drafting of the constitution, then it could not have been changed, and we would probably have slavery still to this day. -Part EThe entrenched clause is an idea put into the drafting of the constitution that makes the constitution and constitutional amendments hard to change so that people cannot take advantage of it and increase their personal political power and become a dictator, or take control of the government. -Part FI have mixed feelings about this idea, because it makes it harder to change the government if something goes wrong, but it also keeps people from changing and taking advantage of the constitution and using it for their own personal or political devices.

-Part GI think that we should have established civil rights are inflexible so that humans cannot be taken advantage of, mistreated or used by other humans and that the government cannot control humans and dispose of the ones they dont like, because they all have rights and freedoms which are inflexible and in-violate able.
