Freedom of speech is a river that gives sustenance to the people along its banks so that they may grow independent and strong. Without the freedoms given to citizens in the first amendment, no one would be able to express their opinions and ideas about anything.

Out of the first ten amendments in the Bill of Rights the one that is most important to me is the first amendment, and I think most other people will agree. It’s the most important amendment because it allows us to be free and express ourselves although there are limits to when it’s allowed. Anyone in the United States can practice any religion they want or to not even have one at all. If we didn’t have the first amendment our lives today would definitely be really different. With freedom of speech we are able to speak about things that we think are wrong and give our opinion on the issues.…

Chase’s why the First Amendment is important to protect First let me elaborate on what the First Amendment entails. The First Amendment guarantees us the freedom of religion, speech, press, petition, and assembly. Having the First Amendment as it is today introduces people to lots of things that the government would probably have banned or prevented us from seeing if we didn 't have the First Amendment. the government could make it to where anyone who doesn 't agree with them cant voice their opinions which would prevent us from experiencing the things we can and do today. When the First Amendment is upheld by SCOTUS ( Supreme Court of The United State) it further fortifies it making are freedoms more secure.…
Speaking freely and being able to say what people want is taken for granted. To put it another way, many citizens do not realize that this has contributed in making laws and allowing civilians to express what they feel about the government. In some countries, the citizens do not have freedom of speech, and criticizing their government would result by being punished. One country in particular, North Korea, has very few rights and is the most repressive countries in the world (Sargent, Korea). Furthermore, if this right was not created, then the government would have more power than it should.…
