We The People: The Bill Of Rights by Adam Lambert

nblachman29 on

I think the most important right for a citizen to have in a free country is the 1st amendment because the 1st amendment claims many important freedoms like religion, or speech. That is very important for a US citizen. Each right is very important but I think the 1st right is the most important for a citizen in a free country. In addition, for a student, I think the most important right in a free country is the 1st amendment too. All the other rights are more for adults, but even for the citizens the 1st one seems like the most important.   

I think all citizens should have the same rights. I think so because We The People now stand for everyone, no matter wealthiness, skin color, or gender. If a woman didn’t have the same rights as a man, that wouldn’t be fair. Everyone is equal, and should be treated equally.

I think it depends on the situation or rights. If someone said I had the right of speech in these situations, but not in everything that would be fine depending on the situation. If someone said I had the right to speech for everything, that isn’t always good. So it depends, but if it has to do with something like freedom whatsoever, that shouldn’t be taken away ever. Someone could try, but the right of freedom can’t be limited. 

I think we should have the rights of travel, to vote, to keep personal items private, and the right for a fair trial, in the constitution. Technically those are rights, but they don’t claim on the constitution that it is said to officially be a right.

The Song means a lot to me. It makes me think deeply about working together and how when everything is lost, and hope is gone, to become stronger, and come back and try harder. That is a very important message.

This song relates to our study on the government because at that time in the colonies everything was not working, and there were arguments and fighting, but the colonies revived, and fixed the problems, working together as America, and becoming a stronger country.

This song makes me feel bold, strong, happy, determined, and brave. The lyrics says over and over again how when all is lost, we just get up, work together, and become stronger, trying to solve problems. The lyrics is very strong and deep, and even better the art and music adds strong touches to the song.

The artist that illustrated the animation in the song was telling a story. It was about a town that just hit a bad storm, which caused large destruction and loss. Hope was lost, but the main characters in this episode didn’t give up. They started helping and building back the community, and bringing hope back throughout more people, which made the people stronger, and determined. Color flooded throughout the town after everyone started helping and coming back stronger, revising and fixing.
