In this world we live in the Amendments to the Constitution of the United States is very important. Without the Amendments Constitution to protect us, the citizens our rights, this world would be very hard to live in. I am glad that the Constitution is around and available, thanks to our Founding Fathers we have a rule book for everything we can think of. To me the most important part of the Constitution is the Amendments, as it is there to protect us.

But if you really look at the Second Amendment it doesn’t really protect us from waging war against the government no matter the reason, because it is an act of treason. Basically if we really look into our rights to bear arms, it’s only to protect the government, it doesn’t really make it clear of our right to protect ourselves, which The Know Your Bill Rights Book made clear. As every states fight for the rights, the statement they wanted to change, but each and everytime it went back to our right as free men to be armed to protect the government/State. Up and until now the second amendment is still not there for our protection to bear arms to protect ourselves and our family. Until this day, the government is till working hard of changing the Second Amendment as they see fit for themselves and not our protection. In todays news we still see that everytime there
