The Bill of Rights is not a prioritization list i.e. one right is more important than another. The Second Amendment is equal in importance to the First Amendment is equal in importance to the Fifth Amendment, etc. They are not listed in order of importance, and all are important.
But the most important Amendment is the one that has taken the biggest beating to the point where it almost doesn't exist. I refer, of course, to the 10th Amendment.

I'd estimate it's tied evenly with the 9th Amendment, but I agree.
That, and at some point, I'd like Art 6 para 2 re-read to Congress in such a way that they come to understand it. Maybe if we explained it to them as one would with a child of 6. Complete with warnings of spankings or other dire consequences for ignoring it.
