The 4'th Amendment (to the United States Constitution) guarantees the freedom of persons from unreasonable search and seizure.

This means that in order for a person of authority (usually a police officer) to search or to seize a premises, property, or a person, the officer must have reasonable grounds to suspect criminal activity, or perhaps even the threat of criminal activity.

Which amendment protects citizens against the abuse of government authority?

The 4th Amendment protects us from illegal searches and seizures. The 6th Amendment protects us from the police proceeding to charge us with a crime without having an attorney present, to ensure that we fully understand what we are being charged for, among other things. The 7th Amendment guarantees us the right to have a trial by a jury of our peers. The 8th Amendment protects us from cruel and unusual punishment by the police as well as excessive fines and bail. If you are not born in the US or not of US decent and now live in the country, the 14th Amendment defines the terms of citizenship which protects us from illegally being deported. To name a few...hope this helps
