The First Amendment: The Rights Government Cannot Touch
The First Amendment does not grant rights. It restrains government from abridging rights the people already possess. In this stream we read the actual text, break down the five protections—religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition—and examine what the Founders intended versus how those rights are treated today.
We’ll cover the historical reasons the amendment was written, key Supreme Court standards, and the live pressure points
