1 st Amendment  Freedom of: Religion Speech Press Petition Assembly

The First Amendment - Freedom of Religion  “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”  Two clauses: Establishment clause ○ This is what is traditionally thought of as “separation of church and state” ○ Means that the government cannot officially sanction a religion for the state, preference one religion over another, or preference religion over non-religion. Free Exercise clause ○ This clause ensures that the government cannot (within reason) keep you from practicing your religion

The First Amendment Freedom of Speech  “Congress shall make no laws... abridging the freedom of speech”

The First Amendment Freedom of Speech  Limits on Freedom of Speech  The individual CAN: State any political belief. Protest (peacefully). Talk poorly about other people as long as it’s true. Burn the American flag. Say racist and hateful slogans.  All of this means that someone may very likely say something you will disagree with.

The First Amendment Freedom of Speech  Limits on Freedom of Speech  The individual CAN NOT: Threaten violence. Sexually harass someone. Spread lies (libel and slander) Create social chaos ○ Brandenburg v. Ohio ○ Speech that may create “imminent lawless action” is not protected. Obscenity in a public forum

The First Amendment - Freedom of the Press  “Congress shall make no law... abridging... the freedom of the press.”  Similar to freedom of speech, but with the media.  Outlets reporting “information and opinion” enjoy great protection of their content. Freedom, not responsibility, is protected by the first amendment  Some limitations: The FCC (Federal Communications Committee) holds the right to restrict “indecent” material in broadcasting

The First Amendment Right to Peaceable Assembly  “Congress shall make no law…abridging…the right of the people to peaceably assemble.”  Allows for protests, rallies, and political events  Key word is “peaceably” Riots and violence are not protected and can result in arrests and jail.

The First Amendment Right to Petition the Government  “Congress shall make no law…abridging the right…of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”  You may sue the government for wrongs.  You cannot be punished for exposing wrongs by the government.  The courts decide “wrongs”. In the past, this right has been limited, particularly during times of war.
