Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The first amendment in the bill of rights is the most important because it's freedom of speech that gets people to share their political ideas, talk about what's wrong with their leader/government and thus, helping the government improve. Freedom of speech is also important for people to revolt against a corrupt/inefficient government whenever needed. The 13th amendment is the second most important one because it gives people of other colours their rights and prevents slavery. This will give a population boost since the number of deaths from insufficient medication decreases as the rule of slavery is lifted. 24th amendment is the 3rd most important one because it allows people who do not have the monny to pay taxes to vote for who they believe will lead the country fairly. 14th amendment is 4th most important to me because it allows people BORN in the USA instead of people from there to be elected president, so the nation would have smart minds with different points of view from all over the world. People can have their sons/daughters elected. The 19th amendment is 5th most important to me because it prevents sexism when it comes to voting and elections. The fact that women couldn't participate in political voting was crude and unfair.

Colonists Victory

The colonists first rejected the Parliament of Great Britain in the last half of the 18th century. The colonies joined together to defend the idea of self-governance. They united to form one nation and broke away from the British empire. 1776 is when the colonists made the Declaration of Independence. They made their rights and proved the British king a tyranny. They established a relatively powerful federated government. The United States Bill of rights came directly after, compromised the first 10 constitutional amendments.
