The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is a part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and right to petition. It also does not allow the government to establish a national religion or to say any certain religion or religion in general, is true. It allows people to debate religion freely without the government getting involved. It also guarantees everyone certain rights which cannot be taken away or violated.
