What reason would there be to assign a (perceived) "order of importance? Where is it said that they were put in "order of importance"?
It isn't realtive to the argument....as long as you aren't a black man. Ask a black man about your "order of importance". As far as I'm concerned......the subsequent amendments blow that notion clean out of the water.
The first 10 amendments (bill of rights) were pretty much written at the same time and would have been the most important insured rights preying upon the minds of the founders. Although there is no official order of importance, they did make a choice on the order (of the first 10, I'm talking). All of them are important but there is also no disclaimer saying " *these are in no particular order".
Thedeclaration of independence expresses the equality of all people
To keep citing other amendments that were added later isn't really relevant to the founding fathers frame of mind at the time of the bill of rights
And by the way, you have no idea how "a black man" feels about anything really do ya??? So it doesn't seem reasonable to specualte about that.
