I think that Martin Luther King JR. was a great leader in our history because he was courageous, honest and he was determined. He used all of these great qualities that he had when he was fighting for the rights and freedom for blacks. I think he was courageous just for standing up against the whites that were biased against them just because of the color of their skin. He was always honest because gave his famous speeches and told everyone what he thought and what they should to stand up for themselves. He said what he believed and didn’t really care what he consequences were, as long as his opinions were out there.  He was very determined in his quest for equal rights between whites and blacks, he was determined to lead this huge group of people that agreed with him and that also wanted to be equal to everyone else in the world.

The Bill of Rights is a list of amendments that declares the freedom of all the citizens of the United States of America. Without  it we wouldn’t have any freedom, we wouldn’t have the freedom of speech or religion and people would be able to search through your personal stuff without a warrant or your permission. I believe that the most important amendment is the first one , it states that you have the freedom of speech and religion so nobody can stop you from practicing any religion you want our stop you from saying what you believe. This amendment is very important because without it you wouldn’t be able to stand up for what you belive or protest against any people or causes. I think that freedom of religion is important because you should be able to believe in whatever you want to and nobady should be able to tell you what you beleive. If we didn’t have the first amendment I wouldn’t be able write the post I am currently writing.
