Bill of Rights, made up of the first ten amendments, prohibits the interference of the federal government with personal liberties. The Nation’s First Amendment, freedom of speech and assembly, guarantees the freedom of not only speech, but also other forms of manifestation such as gesticulations, free exercise of religion, and the freedom of press.
