1st Amendment

The First Amendment is a part of the United States Constitution that protects the freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. It was adopted in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights, which includes the first ten amendments to the Constitution.

The First Amendment guarantees that the government cannot restrict individuals or groups from expressing their opinions or beliefs, including the freedom to practice any religion or no religion, to speak or write freely, to assemble peacefully, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The First Amendment has been described as a cornerstone of American democracy and is a crucial protection for individual liberties and rights.
