The 4th Amendment
There were few, if any, provisions of the Bill of Rights that grew so directly from the experience of the colonials as did the Fourth Amendment. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, paper and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and no warrants shall issue upon probable cause, support by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” This is the Fourth Amendment within the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States of America. This amendment guarantees “the right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” This means that the government cannot use police power in ways that would unjustly expose citizens to government confrontation. The type of government we have in the United States of America is a democracy. A democracy can be defined as a system of governme!nt in which supreme authority rests with the people. With this system of rule, the individual has a lot of power. The 1st, 4th, and 14th Amendments attempt to uphold the sentiments of The United States Declaration of Independence.
