Bill of Rights

Our rights as United States citizens are outlined in the Bill of Rights. After researching the Bill of Rights which amendment do you feel is the most important in today's society and why?
  I believe that the eight amendment is the most important today because it is not right to have people an pay an excessive amount of money for bail. Also because the government permitting unusual and cruel punishments to be endured by the person is wrong and the eight amendment prohibits that.
