How Is The 1 Amendment Still Relevant Today

When people ask how is the 1 amendment is still relevant today we have to look at all the things
we take for granted like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press, and freedom
of assembly. With freedom of speech you can say what's on your mind about anything and not get
suppress or censored by the government or the people. The First amendment also includes the
right to freely express ones religion it does by guaranteeing that every person has the right to
express any religion belief and the government is prohibited from favoring one religion over the
others. The freedom of press really plays out for us Americans because we have the right to video
tape, record, and write about anything we feel that's an issue and not be censored by the
government. Then the final thing that makes the 1 amendment so relevant is freedom of
assembly. The freedom of assembly allows people to come together to promote, pursue
collectively, and also defend your ideas. As we still use the 1 amendment to get information or
just be annoying by bashing someone else. We really take the 1 amendment for granted because
there been a lot going on in America these past few months and people try to peaceful protest or
record they been attacked for exercising their first amendment right as a citizens and this shows
that people don't like to hear or see the truth. So when someone exercise the first amendment
nobody has the right to stop you, or to bash you for what you believe in if they do you can sue
them if they ever try to infringed on your rights as a American citizen.
