then i believe some see it wrong, each and every amendment has the same weight in law. the 1st ten seem more important because collectively they are known as the bill of rights.
all amendments can be altered changed or dismissed by the inclusion of a new amendment superseding it. (all it needs is ratification)
interpretation of an amendment can also be be changed and has been on many occasions by the supreme court, the right to bare arms being one of them. freedom of the press being another with the advent of the pc.
the 1st ten do not nor have ever over ruled another amendment, they have no need to.
the right to bare arms, for instance doesn't over rule the law that sawn off shotguns are illegal to own in the united states.
both are separate laws within the first amendment. neither of which has any bearing on any other amendment such as the right to vote, etc.
