Amendment1Speech

Written by: Bryce, Gilbert, Kelton

Amendment 1:Congress shall make no law respecting an established of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or reduce the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceable to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Application:How does/could this affect my life? Everyone in the whole world needs to have rights to freely speak without consequence so that we can speak our minds and give our side of the story without feeling fear of being hurt.That is how we run things in the United States of America. So we all get a fair say in what we and the country does. You say that the elders are helping you keep order but when you mess up twice in your "community" you get killed in america you can mess up a lot and still be living. THIS IS THE SEAL OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITHOUT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WE WOULD HAVE NO TRUE GOVERMENT !!!  THINK ABOUT LIFE WITH OUT THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH WE WOULD HAVE TO GET WHAT WE SAY APPROVED AND COULDN'T SAY HOW WE FEEL LIKE THIS LOSER IN THE PICTURE ABOVE!!! Scoville v. Board of Education of Joliet Township High School District 204, 425 F.2d 10 (7th Cir. 1970) This case was about students speaking their word off campus and getting in trouble for what they did even though they had the right to do it all they had to do was appeal in court to get their rights better approved to them so they could talk about anything they want without comsequence. __Analysis__ If you got in trouble for speaking your mind to the world wouldn't u feel mad about that why should someone get in trouble for saying what they feel is right? That's why the government passed the bill of rights with the first ammendment in it to protect us from that sort of evil. RESOURCES:
