Constitutional Amendments

by vintageplays1

In my AP US Gov class I was taught that the order of the amendments in the Bill of Rights is indicative of their perceived importance as far as the founding fathers were concerned. As such the first amendment is first as it denotes the ability to protest against the government, the second and third are necessary for the ability to carry out revolution, the 9th is more important than the 10th as people’s rights are more important than states’ rights. I’m just wondering there is historical evidence from the founding fathers to support this claim. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

This is not correct. The order of the Amendments relates to the order of what part of the Constitution they relate to and amend. See this older answer for more on this.
