I will tell you the one I think is the MOST important one. The first one. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Without freedom of the press, a government can get away with anything. They do try to do just that, but I think that is the only way to keep things in check or at least have a shot at being able to do that. Without the ability to criticize our government freely, without fear of punishment, none of the other freedoms are truly possible.
