1st Amendment

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.

Isn't this just amazing, folks? For us cool kids who watch CSPAN, this just inspires a whole bunch of 18th Century Intrigue.

In short, we Americans have a plethora of freedoms, including, but not limited to:
1. Freedom of Religion
2. Freedom of Speech
3. Freedom of the Press
4. Freedom to Assemble
5. Freedom to Petition

I SHALL work on memorizing this over the weekend...because I'm gonna have a lame weekend hahha jk
