Select the Right from the Bill of Rights (first 10 Amendements on pp 199-200) that you think is most important. Explain why you think so

Amendment X: The powers delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
This amendment protects the states and people from the federal government. I think this is the most important amendment because it protects the people and the states from having the federal government run our lifestyle. Can anyone imagine what it's like to have no privacy? Well I can't because having the government control every aspect of our lifestyle, there wouldn't be a bit of life. For example, if the federal government has control over our lives, he would be able to tell us things like what time to eat, how to have our house set up, where we could go or just the way he would want us to live life period. People will go insane without freedom, especially privacy. This amendment protects against something that could terribly cause us to suffer and live miserably. We have the right to live the way we want to live.
