Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Religion
Freedom of Press
Freedom of the Press is the third of five parts in the first amendment. Freedom of the Press means the freedom of the media. This essentially means freedom of communication and expression through mediums including electronic media and published materials. When such freedom mostly implies the unavailability of interference from a over stretching state, its preservation may be findable through constitutional or other legal protections. I think that when this law was put in because people used to have to get permission from the government to publish or publicly broadcast something/someone. In present day, I think that having this law is a good thing and a bad thing. I think it is a good thing because people don't have to ask the government for permission. I think this is a good thing because the government can be very picky sometimes, and if they didn't like what the publisher or TV network wanted to show to the public, they wouldn't let them do it at all. But I don't like this law because some shows on TV can be very boring or pointless and they just turn into a waste of time. So, to wrap this up, all I am going to say now is that I think this law should stick around for a little longer.
Freedom of Assembly
Freedom of Assembly sometimes used correspondingly with the freedom of association, is the right to come together and express, promote, pursue, and defend common interests. People wanted the right to protest or march against things they thought were wrong. When this law was put into the first amendment people wanted to demonstrate and have the right to meet to discuss how to make changes to the law. In today's time, I think that this law is still useful. I think it is useful because if someone feels strong enough about an idea about a law, they have the right to peacefully protest as a group and show the government what they feel should be done. If they felt really strong about what they said, they should have the right to petition.
Right to Petition
