They are still not correct. What is the First Amendment today was "Amendment, the Third" in
the original document as presented to Congress. The original first was never ratified. It dealt with limiting the number of total Congressmen. What was then the second is now the twenty-seventh as it finally finished the ratification process in 1992.
So we can conclude that the original founding fathers did not place any special significance to anything being in the first amendment simply because it was the first, since it wasn't the first, it was actually the third. Does that make sense?
The original first was never ratified. It dealt with limiting the number of total Congressmen. A good thing, too - by my rough calculation, if we followed the general scheme in the First Amendment, we'd have about five thousand Representatives today.
