the 1st amendment

I say the first amendment because the government should not be able to make laws that suppress our freedom of speech, freedom of religion and of the press. As an american we should be free with some limitations.The reason this is most important is because it makes churches, and other religious things possible without it people would be fearful of being religious. Religion is a right that shouldn't be taken away because it is something people enjoy.The freedom of speech allows us to speak our mind. The freedom of speech allows us to speak without having to raise our hand even though it is polite to raise our hand. We are allowed to argue.The freedom of assembly allows us to get together like a family reunion or a Christmas party or something to do with meeting up with someone. We are allowed to get together and protest but not riot.
