In your opinion, which one of the bill of rights amendments do you feel is the most important to you and to the united states? choose only one amendment you feel is most important, and provide at least two reasons to explain why you believe this amendment is the most important.

Amendment 1

Is the basis of the United States Constitution, core of the Declaration of the Rights of the US Citizens, guardian of democracy - continues to be compromised by forces that spread a philosophy inconsistent with our" Founding Fathers "view of a free and open society After all, there is a reason why such a powerful expression about freedom was established, which includes a freedom of expression clause at the very beginning of the country's most important document.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
