Abstract

The Bill of Rights is the set of fundamental laws and rights Simultaneously , numerous provisions and legal principles , which are found in the Amendments to the Constitution of the United States , are vague and dubious . As a result , the First , the Fourth , the Fifth , the Sixth , and the Fourteenth Amendments do not provide the required balance between justice and security
