Fourth Amendment!!! The Right to Say No to Searches The government or police cannot search any of your property (car, house, book bag) without an order from a judge or if there is a good reason to search.

Torture The North Korean government will kidnap you and force you to speak to get information out of you! If this were America, what Amendment would be violated!?

The Fifth Amendment!!! The Right to Remain Silent U.S. citizens cannot be forced to speak to a police officer or a court. They can just say, “I plead the Fifth” and you do not have to say anything else.

Welfare In North Korea a lot of the people don’t have food, shelter, or clothing. Meanwhile....Kim Jong Ill has a fleet of 100 Mercedes Benz limousines, and lobster flown in daily from Norway! If this were America, what Amendment would be violated!?

The Ninth Amendment!!! The Right to have Rights besides those listed in Constitution Because there are so many basic human rights, not all of them could be listed in the Constitution. This amendment means that rights cannot be stopped just because they are not listed in the Constitution.
