Which of the Amendments is the Most Important One?

Well first off lets state this right now. All of the Amendments work together with eachother and the Constitution as a whole. Now for my opinion. We can cut to the chase and declare the fifteenth and the nineteenth the most important two. Voting is what creates and nullifies amendments, so if we go to the base, more voters makes for more fair laws.

So I'm deciding I'm going to choose which of the amendments from the Bill of Rights. Now some people will declare the 1st as the obvious choice. Speaking out allows us to "break the chains of tyranny" and allows us to gather as a people. This isn't a bad choice,  but even if there were laws against the first, I don't think it would take long for people to.. uh.. speak up. Many, many, MANY of my friends would say to bear arms is the most important. I'd say that's a close second, but it's not quite there. My reasons against it are simply we have the army -Now before you shut me out, just keep reading. If or when the government goes crazy and takes away any of our basic rights, I believe a grand majority of the army will fight back. Now ok, I get the idea that the gov could slowly take away things until our rights get smaller and smaller. But I believe that the people of this nation are strong enough to fight back against such things in their voting power. If the gov doesn't let us vote, then there's obviously going to be a backlash against them. If they were to take away the second amendment... I'd be willing to die to get it back.

But the amendment I claim to be the most important is the ninth. Why? Because it covers so many of the basics. If those rights weren't given to us, we'd be in another as a country. It gives us unspoken and pure rights which are the BASICS. I'm glad to have those.
