through religion, speech, the press, and by changing parts of the government. The first amendment in my opinion is the most important amendment because it affects so much of our daily lives.

First Amendment is a very precious right that we have. It refers to the right of speech, in which allows us to freely speak our minds without the fear of being punished. However, what does it truly mean? The meaning is not only powerful but also somewhat very vague, in my opinion. Because of its brief words, it leaves out some important issues.

In this survey I interviewed ten people. I read each of them the first amendment and then asked them four questions based off of how they felt about the amendment. After I asked them each question I told them that what I had read them was the first amendment.

In the survey conducted, I questioned ages eighteen to seventy on how they felt about these given laws. Many of the…

“The first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, or more appropriately, the first eight, are called the Bill of Rights.” (Kanovitz, 2015, p. 20) The First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, right to petition, and right to assemble. Although many believe that the first amendment gives full protection, there are certain limits placed upon it. Freedom of speech has limitations when it comes to obscenity, inciting immediate unlawful action, and using…

those activities would be seen as convicted criminals, but the rights encrypted in the First Amendment protected them. However, numerous Americans believe that the First Amendment goes too far in the protections it promises. According to a survey by American Journalism Review, “49 percent said it gives us too much freedom, up from 39 percent last year and 22 percent in the year 2000” (Paulson 1). The First Amendment has also been criticized for its ability to allow the public display of…

The First Amendment gave the people of the United States core rights. Citizens have the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of press, right to peacefully assemble, and right to petition the government. In further detail, the government cannot enforce a religion upon its citizens, for they have the right to follow whatever religion or no religion that they wish. Laws cannot be made by the government that prohibit citizens from voicing their opinions. The press is permitted to publish…
