Amendment IV
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
This Political Cartoon clearly demonstrates Amendment IV of the United States Constitution. Government does not have the power to violate the privacy rights without a warrant. In order for the authorites to receive a search and seize warrant they must have probable causes or certain amount of evidence. The Article shows how the fourth ammendment is being violated because the police have no right to break into someone's home without probable causes or a searc warrant.
I agree with having the fourth amendment in the United States Constitution. Without that amendment things would be extremely different. This amendment is very important and im glad we have the right to keep certain things private and authorities are not allowed to violate our privacy. If life was the way it was in the Cartoon then I think it would cause more violence. Everyone would feel that there rights would be violated.
