What amendment do you feel is most important and why?

They don't have a most important amendment because I think all of the amendments are important. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think the 10th Amendment is the most important. It states that any powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution are reserved to the states. This amendment was put in place to make sure the federal government does not become to powerful. But as we see nowadays, the politicians have pretty much ignored this amendment.

Why have the Constitition and Bill of Rights lasted so long?

The Bill of Rights, and all amendments, are part of the Constitution of the United States. I think there are several reasons the Constitution has lasted so long. The men who wrote our Constitution were well versed in law and politics. They realized that a Constitution is a guideline for government. They developed a document that could be changed with the times. They provided for a system of government, federalism, that took into account the powers of the state with a national government that respected states' rights but also allowed for the national government to be the supreme law of the land. It also created a division of national powers between three separate, yet equal, branches of government, each with specific jobs yet with the power to control the power of the other two branches so that there would be no domination by one branch over another. Cooperation was also written into the Constitution. But perhaps most important, the rights of the citizens where protected.

What is meant by expressed national powers?

Enumerated powers, also called expressed powers, refers to powers that the federal government has according to the US Constitution. It's a list of tasks, like create a post office, levy/collect taxes, declare war, carry on diplomacy with foreign countries, and so forth, that the Constitution very specifically says that the federal government can do.Some political groups, notably right-wingers like the Tea Party, think that the government should only do exactly those things and nothing else. Some Tea Party members of Congress have been trying for a few years now to make a law that says every time Congress passes a law, they have to specifically state under which enumerated power the law falls under.The problem is that some of these enumerated powers can be used to do lots of things that people may not agree with. Parts of the Constitution like the Commerce Clause (which allows Congress to make laws regarding business and trade that happens in multiple states/countries) and the Elastic Clause (which allows Congress to make laws that are "necessary and proper" for the functioning of the government) are very vague and can be used as justification for lots of things.
