My Opinion Piece

My opinion is that amendment #1 is the most important amendment.

 

Amendment #1 says; Congress can’t make any laws about keeping you from practicing your religion, or stop  your religion from even being illegal. They can’t stop from saying what you want in newspapers, or books. They also can’t stop you from peacefully meeting with the government to ask them to change something.

 

This right is important because if people won’t have freedom of religion, then they would stop coming to this wonderful country. Newspapers would just be facts of what the government wants us to know about the economy, not opinions. We wouldn’t have the right to protest when we feel like something’s not right with the law. (But only peacefully, as soon as the protesters begin to threaten people, it is no longer legal.)

 

I chose this amendment because feel that people have the right to speak out, the right to practice their own religion, or no religion at all, I feel that people can put whatever they want to in newspapers or books, speaking their own mind in a form that people would actually read, I feel people a right to share what they think about the law. I know that if we didn’t have amendment #1, that I wouldn’t even be allowed to write this essay of my opinion right now.
