The Bill of Rights

The Bill of Rights is important to me and many others I assume because it gives us many rights, like the right to bear arms, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the right to assemble. The ninth amendment says we have the right to education, employment, housing and medical care. People would be living in the streets and starving if we didn't have the right to employment and housing. Our right to privacy, 1973 Roe v. Wade case, it was ruled that abortion is a private matter and so it is protected by the constitution. Without the right to privacy anyone could come in our homes and use our names for their own purpose. The right to privacy protects you, your home and your belongings from being taken, your medical records and the mail you receive. It protects your personal information. The internet security you have on your pc or laptop protects your information from being hacked into and taken by someone to use to get credit cards. That would ruin you financially. It is so important to protect ourselves, and with the right to privacy to help us.
