My daughter's class was given an exercise. The premise was that aliens had landed from outer space and taken over, but the people were allowed to have three of the original ten Amendments to the Constitution. Their (the student's) job was to pick the three and justify.
When my daughter and I discussed, I said the first three - without hesitation. I explained my logic as follows: The First Amendment's freedom of speech, assembly, and press clauses could be used to rally people to the cause of getting rid of the aliens.
The Second Amendment - well, gee, if they're going to be stupid enough to allow me to pick any three, then I'm going to pick one that will allow me to arm and shoot them.
And the Third Amendment will keep them from dispersing among the population by preventing them from quartering their forces in civilian homes, thus improving the chances of targeting them with the weapons available from the Second Amendment, being used by rebel forces properly organized due to the First Amendment.
Once the aliens were routed, the other Amendments can be restored.
