Amendment 1 by Kendra Ngo https://padlet.com/19kngo2/s4adwehvico7 Freedom on religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition en-us 2019-02-06 05:00:56 UTC 2023-01-24 15:11:32 UTC hello@padlet.com Freedom of Religion 19kngo2 https://padlet.com/19kngo2/s4adwehvico7/wish/328111206 The freedom of religion in the First Amendment prevents laws that establish a national religion and does not get in the way of U.S. citizens exercising their own religion. Citizens have the right to also change their religion or beliefs, and also practice and teach their religion in America. 
In the political cartoon attached below, it demonstrates how the woman wearing the burqa is being discriminated for wearing her religious clothing even though it is her right to do so because of the First Amendment. It is the woman's right to wear the burqa if she is a U.S. citizen because she can exercise her freedom of religion. It is important that people have the freedom of religion because it gives them the ability to express their beliefs and ideals without being punished for them.

Freedom of speech is also referred to "freedom of expression." Freedom of speech is a right that guarantees people to have their own opinions without interference. 
In the political cartoon below, the newspaper headlines in the image state "College activists demand safe zones, trigger warnings, and political correctness" and "Storm of outrage as NFL star sits out National Anthem." These titles depict people using their right to freedom of speech in America. The college activists are expressing their opinions and ideals by protesting or taking action, and the NFL star sitting out on the National Anthem is a freedom of speech because that person may use the act of sitting out as a form of protest against something that they believe is not right. Freedom of speech is an important right that citizens should have because it gives them the opportunity to express their opinions without having consequences for doing so since it is their right.

It guarantees the right for people to communicate and express what they want through the media and other public material. 
This political cartoon of President Donald Trump depicts how he extremely supports Freedom of the Press. Trump expresses the Freedom of the Press on social media and talks about whatever he wants to discuss on the Twitter platform. This demonstrates the Freedom of the Press. This right is important because people can post whatever they want on social media based off of their opinions without getting retaliation or censorship for the way they feel.
