I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with the author. America has basically been doomed from the start. When the 2nd amendment was created James Madison probably didn't think that 100s of year later citizens would use it for as an excuse for mass murders across the country. The amendment will not be nullified anytime in the near future because most states wouldn't support this decision. Most citizens own a gun either legally or illegally for protection.
The first amendment protects our everyday life when it come to speaking, Writing, religion, signing a petition,or gathering together for a protest. Congress shall make no law respecting any of these topics. The scenario at hand explained how a group of students set the flag on fire and they all got arrested, the real question is however, are the police within their rights to do so? Overall, there are two sides to the subject, one is, the students are able to burn the flag and should not be punished at all, the other side is that burning the flag infringes upon our rights and it is not allowed. The students are able to burn the flag and they shall not be punished.
Today, it’s hard to imagine the U.S. Constitution without the Bill of Rights. However, when the founding fathers we’re drafting the Constitution they didn’t feel the first ten amendments were necessary. The three men that believed these amendments should be included were, George Mason, Elbridge Gerry, and Edmund Randolph (4). James Madison was responsible for drafting the document and came up with seventeen sections (4). This number then got reduced to twelve, but only ten of those twelve were ratified.
Schnayerson Steel Prof, Weatherill ENG 102 6 March 2023 1984 and Constitutional Rights The second amendment provides Americans with the right keep and bear arms and form a well-regulated militia. Forming a militia could provide the proles and Winson with a place to stay safe to an extent since this could also put them in danger, this is how it reads in the constitution, “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state. ” The right to keep and bear arms is to have a gun and to be allowed to carry it, this is how it reads in the constitution, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” The second amendment of the United States Bill of Rights is the most beneficial amendment to the people
The second amendment states that well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. This amendment has brought upon debates for control. For many the gun symbolizes crimes, sexual frustration, aggression, violence, and all that is wrong in American culture. For others it symbolizes, manliness, independence, outdoorsmanship, and willingness to die for one's believe (La valle). The debate over Gun Control has peaked in recent years due to societies opposing conflict and a lack of compromise.
The Second Amendment (in the constitution) is one that can bring up hours and hours of debate, maybe the most of them all. These debates, unfortunately, will never come to an end because there will be know agreeance in what would be done. In my opinion, what is trying to be done right now is not going to work, the politicians in office right now want to stop the weapons and not the perpetrators. Every time there is a mass shooting/bombing the idea of gun control comes up and it is not going to get us as a nation anywhere because that is not the issue. We know who is doing these mass murders such as the Boston bombings, Paris attacks, San Bernadino shooting, and Brussels attack that happen just this morning, stricter gun laws would not have
The First amendment also protects speech (Hall,2016.) The plain language of the clause, several words mean something different than what is plain (Hall, 2016.) First, the clause limits the authority of Congress, but in reality it limits all three branches of the federal government (Hall, 2016.) Second, the term speech is used (Hall, 2016.) The Supreme Court has held that more than the spoken word is protected (Hall, 2016.)
Legislatures in the United States continuously attempt to restrict the flow of new forms of entertainment that their constituents believe to be harmful to society. Yet, from the lower courts to supreme courts, contested legislation is overturned. The First Amendment’s assertion of the freedom of speech is afforded the highest standard of judicial review and very few exceptions are allowed. These exceptions to free speech are obscenity, incitement, fighting words, slander and libel. However, while adults enjoy the full extent of the priviledges in the Bill of Rights, minors are viewed as needing special consideration in certain situations.
The first amendment of the constitution states that one has the freedom of speech but on most colleges today that isn't a thing. Going back to the 1960’s there have been more and more protests on college campuses, there has also been an incredible amount of more censorship against ideas people don't like. Some people think that if a person's ideas don't match up with their own, the person they disagree with can't express them. We see this “censorship” used is against hard right-wing speakers most of the time, but that isn't putting the blame on one side, no matter what your political views are this could still be used against anyone. Peaceful protests are great but there is a line that gets crossed way to often, that line is going from a peaceful protest to a riot and chaos to
The Importance of the 1st Amendment In 1787 our founding fathers assembled the constitution of the United States of America. Of this which contains the most important document to the American citizen, the Bill of rights. The first Amendment states: “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” These freedoms granted by the Bill of Rights are often known as freedom of expression.

Freedom of speech is one of the many essential core values that The United States of America was founded on. The United States Constitution and Bill of Rights prohibits the United States government from making laws which may infringe on our natural right to free speech. Without free speech, our generation and future generations alike would lack intellectual vitality. Being exposed to different ideas and beliefs is necessary for people to be able to formulate their own personal beliefs. Taking away or limiting free speech would be living life fearing that you will express an unpopular opinion in the eyes of certain people.
I believe the most important part of the first amendment is the freedom of speech. Freedom of speech gives everyone the right to express their opinions and beliefs without censorship or restraint. Freedom of religion is also very important to many citizens of America. Freedom of religions gives people the right to follow whatever religion they want. Without freedom of religion, every citizen would have to follow the religion that the government chooses.
The first amendment provides us with the opportunity to speak your opinion freely. By letting us speak freely, it gives us a sort of independence instead of following someone else opinion. If there were not freedom of speech, not one person would be dependent and would not have the liberty to say anything they believe in. Speech is also a better way to talk about your beliefs to other people and convince them to take your side instead of fighting someone to go on your side. The first amendment is not all about speech; it is also about freedom of press and assembly, in other words the press can write what they want and anyone can assemble an assembly to talk about
Freedom of speech lets me speak my mind and share my opinions with other people, even when they are not a popular belief. These liberties protect my political views. When I'm talking about politics, and I have a conservative point of view that's not shared by the majority of my friends, I'm not in trouble or at risk of being thrown in jail for thinking differently. It is because of the first amendment I can worship and be a Christian. I also know people who are Jewish, Muslim, and even atheist, and they can all believe in what they want without consequences.
