A major consideration is that #constitutional #amendments are enacted based on the #OrderOfEffect, not the #OrderOfPrecedence. So the #1stAmendment is not any more important under the #Constitution than the #14thAmendment.

Indeed being #UnrestrictedInScope when ratified, the 14th modifies the #Constitution, the #BillofRights, the first 13 #Amendments, #federallaw, and #statelaws. It adds the #dictate that they must be #interpreted to ensure #equalprotection under the #law. (2/8)
