what is the purpose of the first amendments
Their purpose is preserve our rights as people of the United States, and make it clear what our rights are as citizens. The Bill of Rights (aka the 1st 10 amendments) was al â¦ so used to get the Anti-Federalists to support the Constitution's ratification.    An amendment to the Constitution is a change that can add to the Constitution or change an older part of i â¦ t. An amendment can even overturn a previous amendment, as the 21st did to the 18th(prohibition).
