I know what you are thinking... "Whoa, since when do I take orders from Trevor's blog, or from any blog, for that matter?" But recently I have become a little concerned about rights erosion in the United States and it scares me that some people don't know what our rights are. Anyway, I thought rather than whining about it, I could at least do my part to remind everyone of their high school civics classes.
OK, without further ado, the text of the First 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.So, what are the five (maybe six, depending on how you count, but a group of five is easier to keep track of, so we will go with that):
- Freedom of religion
- Freedom of speech
- Freedom of the press
- Freedom to assemble
- Freedom to petition the government
