This is a great discussion question- and it does call for an opinion. In MY opinion (and there WILL be others) it is the Second Amendment- the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It provides for the means to defend oneself and resist a government that would choose to violate the OTHER amendments. Without that, there is no ability to keep a government from denying your right of free speech, choosing your religion, being tried by a jury, being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, being forced to testify against yourself, and so on.

Actually there are different classifications of the bill of rights. First off, the most important are the first 10. Amendment 1 states that we have the freedom of speech, press and assembly and so far that is the most important Amendment. My opinion is that the 10th Amendment is the least important because it states that all Amendments that are not stated in the bill of rights are still protected which really does not make much sense to me for the factHOPE YOU ENJOYED THE ANSWER- Winfrey Akande***I am a 7th grader***

Why did Madison consider the ninth amendment to be the most crucial?

In the Federalist No. 84, Alexander Hamilton argued that a Bill of Rights wasn't a good idea because then that would be perceived to be the people's only rights, when in reality they would have others. Both he, Madison, Jay, and others were worried that with a Bill of Rights, other rights wouldn't be given, especially as the times changed.The ninth amendment, created with Federalist 84 in mind, is there so that all other rights not expressly stated are there, rights that might not have been important in 1787 but are important now. If he did consider it to be the most crucial, then it was because the ninth amendment gave the people all the rights they hadn't thought about/wouldn't become apparent. The ninth amendment is like the giant elastic clause of the Bill of Rights.

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.
