The Founding Fathers really wanted to make sure that the common, everyday people of America would have fair and equal legal rights, no matter their wealth or status in society.

Protecting the basic natural human rights of citizens in court was an important concern to the Founding Fathers, as these rights were usually not respected in England at that time. This is what the Fifth Amendment has to say…

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution in the Bill of Rights is the one that protects private citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures of their private property by the government. It doesn't prohibit it altogether, but it does lay out some very specific and strict criteria for it to occur. This was to give citizens safety from the arbitrary searches and seizures that British troops often carried out on American soil before and during the Revolution. This is what the fourth amendment does, and how it protects us.
