Last week there was a decrease in the number of unemployment benefits. This is the lowest that it has been in six months, which encourages people that the recession may be ending. There had been predictions that the claims would drop from 428,000 to 419,000. The actual decrease saw the claims drop to 391,000 for the week of Sept. 24. The number of claims before the recent drop had been hovering around 400,000 since April.
This article may be a sign that the recession could begin to end. The article instills inspiration and hope to the reader. While there are still over 3 milion people unemployed, the number is dropping. The unemployment rate has also dropped some. This trend will hopefully continue over the next few months.

IV. The right of search and seizure states that a person should not have their property searched unless found to have probable cause and information on what is to be searched and where to search for it. I agree with this amendment because people should have a right of privacy. Authorities aren't allowed to barge into a person's house and start rummaging through all of their belongings. The person has the right to their own personal space and would only lose that right through their own doings. The authorities also have to state what they are looking for and what area they are searching in.
VI. The right to a speedy trial states that the accused has the right to an impartial jury, witness testimony and a defense. I agree with this amendment because we have used this for many years without changing it. This amendment assures that both arguments testify to an impartial judge and jury. They can also bring in witnesses to help fortify their argument. This process usually comes away with a fair outcome and retrials rarely occur.
