First Amendment: 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.
I see the first amendment as a set of moral freedoms that all people deserve to have, although I feel that people should not abuse the freedoms given to us.
It is important that we are able to bow our heads or praise Buddha without being scared that our government will intervene.
- Religion is one of our ways of being open. Our openness as humans is shown through our communication.
- Speech is one of a person’s communication tools. People should be able to talk about what they want as long as they are not doing harm to another.
- Peaceful protesting is a driving force of America that should be protected so that we the people can better our society and move to a better future.
- Equally, the press is a glue that helps hold our country together by giving us the important information so we know how to move forward as a whole.
- Without protesting or press the world would be more corrupt and that is something I personally do not want.
I am happy we have the first amendment. Our founding fathers did well with the creation of both the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
