Answer me this, do Americans still enjoy the freedom of the 10 ammendment regarding being secure in their personal effects and papers?

Could you clarify this question for me? What personal effects and papers are you referring to?

Sure, the tenth amendment prohibits the government from unreasonable searches through your personal papers, home safes, bank accounts, buying habits, loans, what books you check out, etc. without showing probable cause before a judge that you are doing something illegal. A judge may issue or refuse to issue a warrant allowing the law to invade your privacy based on the evidence presented against you.

Do Americans still have this protection afforded to them as free and sovereign individuals?
