The I Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion, it also protects people's rights by placing limitations on the government. In the first amendment it says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; 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.”

The First amendment has a huge impact on my life because I use it everyday and without it I would not have the ability to do common things like speak my mind. The I Amendment also relates to my life because it guarantees civil rights and liberties to myself and the individuals of the United States of America. 'The I amendment is broadly considered to be the most important to the bill of rights because it protects the fundamental rights of conscience, the opportunity to believe and express different thoughts in a variety of ways'(Monk 1).

My interpretation of the ‘American experience’ is that it is important and that I am very lucky to have been born here. I think that I have more rights than smaller countries do. 'America has robust political institutions that have helped create, and have vital personal freedoms. The constitution has been running for over 200 years, creating high levels of political stability and political freedom' (aardy). A good life in America is having meaningful engagement with their families and communities including the people in need and the environment. A good life is being healthy and living a simple and balanced life. Although the life of an American is not all sunshine and rainbows it is a better life than some people on the planet. Living the American experience is to not be infringed by the government you trust.
