  6. The amendment that is the most important was the !5th amendment and the 13th the reason is because those are amendments are mostly talking about the law and how it would change the world. The other thing is that it is explaining how the 13th amendment is talking about that their should not be any more slavery allowed in the America those people should have the right of liberty. And the 15th amendment is saying that everyone should be allowed to vote.

  7. The most important amendment is the fifteenth amendment because everybody has a voice to choose a leader and now everybody has suffrage. So now we won't have a leader that will mess every thing up for us by adding more rules and helping he people that don't need to be helped like the rich but instead will help the needy like the poor.

  8. The 15th Amendments is most important. From my perspective for the 15th Amendments, its important because if your a citizen, and you were born in the U.S you have every right to vote. They cant take away your right to vote because your a citizen, and the law says you can vote, but if you weren't a citizen then they can say you cant because its the law. The rest Amendments are important but the 15th Amendment is MOST important.

  11. The 13th is the most important amendment out of all of the amendments. Its the most important amendment because if we didn't have this amendment there would still be slaves. Also people of different races or class or ethnic group by discriminatory means would be treated differently then others.People have more rights when there is no slavery.

  13. The most important amendment is the 13th and the 14th. The 13th is important because you can’t have any slaves. The 14th amendment is that you are equal no matter what religion or race you are.

  14. The most important Amendment out of the 13th 14th and 15th is the 13th. This is true because people should not be subjected to slavery because of their skin color.Racism is what made slavery so widespread,having a reason doesn't justify the fact that you feel superior over a whole race and choose to make them slaves.So the abolishment of slavery amendment is the most important of the three.

    The 14th amendment seems to be the most important one for the Americans. The 14th amendment is simply the most important because, if you are a American citizen why wouldn't you want to be treated as fairly? Discrimination is something that didn't easily come. Being treated equally is a big thing for a American.

  16. The thirteen and fourteen amendments are the most important. Those two amendments are the most important because every one should have freedom without shackles to what ever and wherever and it also stopped slavery. Another reason why they are important is every one should be treated the same way every one else is being treated. Every one has the equal rights of the law.

  17. The most important amendment is the 14th one because it means that you can’t be taken into jail for no apparent reason. A person deserves to live life without any problems. It is just wrong to live it in jail for no real reason.
