10. M/J Civics: Rights of the Citizen: Bill of Rights - Continued
Higher Order Question
How do limits on the first amendment ultimately protect the rights of citizens?
(Sample Answer) The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution includes five freedoms or rights; these freedoms include religious exercise, speech, press, peaceable assembly and petitioning the government for redress of grievances. That the language of the First Amendment emphasizes freedom does not guarantee absolute freedom in any of these five areas. Individuals may not exercise these freedoms to the full extent that they might like because doing so would threaten the public interest. Federal and state laws, and U.S. Supreme Court decisions, have all placed limitations on First Amendment freedoms in order to protect the public interest.
