Amendment Blog Post

AMENDMENT I

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.

The first amendment is still by far the most important amendment our country has created.  It is the foundation of our nation and the reason we consider ourselves "free".  Without freedom of speech, religion, press, etc. we would not be a free country.  We would have no rights, everything people in our society revolves around the base of this amendment.  It gives our people the right to live how they choose and choose their own purposes in life.  This amendment is what gives us the right to our own opinions and without it there would be no such thing as creativity.  Without the first amendment our country would be nothing that it has become today.
