10th Amendment

"10th amendment. Tenth Amendment. an amendment to the U.S. constitution, ratified in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights, guaranteeing to the states and the people those rights that are not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution."

In this video, Eugene Hickok argues how the difference in National and State government is very powerful and raises the issue and significance of limited government. The word "expressly" also becomes a very important factor. If the 10th amendment said the government has to have "expressed" powers in the constitution  to do a specific thing and if it does not have it resides with the states.

9th amendment

The ninth Amendment guarantees rights enumerated in the constitution would not be construed as denying or jeopardizing other rights of the people. In this video they talk about the founding fathers and when they were creating the Bill of Rights and the 9th Amendment. Certain rights could easily be left and perhaps taken away. Madison thought of a way to fix this problem and came up with the ninth amendment. It implies that whatever rights have been left out are still protected.

8th Amendment

The eighth Amendment guarantees reasonable bail, fines and punishment.
In this video they talk about how punishments for crimes should be reasonable and based upon the severity of the crime committed. Henry Chambers talks about the differences between punishments of years ago and today and how our standards of what is considered "cruel and unusual punishment" have changed considerably.

7th Amendment

The seventh Amendment gives the right to jury trial in most civil cases and stops court from rejecting jury's findings of facts. In this video they discuss the importance of the seventh amendment. Henry Chambers brings up a great point saying how the government does not make all the decisions and that majority of fellow citizens make decisions so letting a jury decide on most cases is important. Peter Irons points out how compared to having a judge decide on a case  jury will be more sympathetic towards the defendant.

3rd Amendment

the 3rd Amendment is implied protection regarding privacy/property rights from government intrusion. Orny Adams discusses how he feels the 3rd amendment is unimportant and irrelevant to today. The Third Amendment to the United States Constitution is so important because it prevents the government from using your home to house military personnel without your consent. It helps to protect your privacy. Without this amendment, the government would be able to use your property for their purposes.

2nd Amendment

The second amendment states the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Over the past couple of years many incidents with shoot outs have raised the issue of whether or not people should still have this right. In this video the man argues for our constitutional right to bear arms. He feels that this is important because " he has also suffered his own tragedies and horrors,
 there are many who've given their lives both literally (like his friends), and figuratively(like himself), to defend these rights. He believes they are important to law abiding people, so they can't be unraveled because the actions of the criminally insane few have taken lives. The rights of the living take precedence over grief for the dead. He believes that historically when we've made important decisions motivated by fear and grief rather than logic, it's resulted in horrible things.
