The government was triggered for the sake of the people. People had honor and dignity. each person was important, and the privacy and dignity of each had to be respected.
Given the ambitions of man and man's love for power, it is all too easy for man to rise to positions of power and dominate others. The Fourth Amendment is important in that it protects the honor and asserts the significance of even the 'least' individual in the country. In this way, the Fourth Amendment prevents the situation of a Fuhrer or Third Reich happening on this soil since certain safeguards are put into place that have to be kept at all costs.
Further indications of the importance of this Amendment can also be seen from the instance when Jentick, an Earl of Camden, was indicted for attacking both government polices and the monarch. His private papers were ruffled and searched and Entick lodged a complaint saying that all papers, not just probably sseditious ones, had been seized. Entick won the case and established the british precedent of ensuring that the executive was limited in intruding on British property by common law. This law gave the citizen some modicum of privacy and security knowing that he could appeal to certain rights in order to protect his dignity.
Only by granting its people respect and stability and by giving the commoner the same rights as the President could America succeed in elevating the pride and confidence of its citizens and getting them to become the nation of activists and a people, generally, intent on justice.

The First Amendment The First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” This Amendment basically protects free speech, among other rights—but in recent years it has been necessary to define

In this case, the interrogation or investigation is excluded on the basis of the exclusionary rule while the physical evidence is excluded on the basis that it's the fruit or product of illegal interrogation.
