I'd argue that the 8th is strong, at least with the discussion of cruel and unusual punishment. I think the bail and fines part works well enough, not perfect, but it's there. To say that it's gone is completely brushing it off. I'd also argue that the 4th is currently the most violated and weakened amendment that people care about. 9th and 10th are also in the same vein of being violated but I think people are ok with that to varying degrees. Basically, people don't get up in arms about it anymore, civil war emphatically put a lot of it to bed and it's gone on from there.
First amendment I think is the one (except for some of those damn crazy kids in college, not all but some) that pretty much everyone can agree with, easily the best written and best amendment.
2nd, 3rd, and 7th are stuck in the 1700s, you should be allowed to own guns but I'd like to see the regulation part greatly strengthened. Lol at using houses to host troops anymore, and the 7th is almost like a tack on of 5 and 6.
5th is easily alive and well, look how often it's used in congressional hearings
6th is still pretty solid IMO, and also IMO as well written as the 1st.
