1st Amendment Pros And Cons

There are also times when information is released to the public, which could be potentially harmful to our national security. Ultimately Freedom of the Press is an essential right. For the press, they feel the need to inform people of situations that arise, such as health care issues (probably to raise their revenue but also because if they were part of the general public, they would want to be informed). The government may not be ready to tell it's people that there is a potentially life threatening disease in populated areas, in fear that it might cause a panic. The press on the other hand, will supply its readers with the information.

Free speech is by far the most commonly recognized freedom in our everyday lives. The freedom of speech allows us to voice our own opinions without the severe repercussions of some countries. It allows us to say what we really feel and helps us learn how to communicate in true and meaningful ways. Along with this freedom, we must remember that there are limits to this freedom. While being arrested “you have the right to remain silent” and anything you say can be used against you in court. This freedom is not one to be taken for

When talking about the First Amendment, the law protects us from freedom of speech and free exercise of religion and it also stops Congress from making any new law to prohibit free speech and free exercise. The case involving a Christian printer who refused to print gay pride T-shirts. The printer declined the printing job for T-shirts promoting a gay pride festival on religious grounds, but he did offer the customer to help them find other local printers to do the work for the same price. Based on the information that was provided the printer had a history of rejecting other orders for shirts promoting sexually explicit material/actions and violence.

The First Amendment was created in a way, to ensure that all those who seek freedom, in speech, press, religion, and assembling can do so. However, recently freedom of religion has not been fully secured. For instance, there has been bans against immigrants sorely because of their religion stereotype. Something that is contradictory to the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...". The First Amendment should be able to encourage each and every religious freedom, because people no longer feel safe about expressing their religion as the United States government have shown favoritism towards other certain religions. And since numbers are rising in certain religions, diversity should be accepted and shown throughout the U.S. and by the government.

The 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, outlining the right for any citizens to bear arms, is considered a cornerstone of our culture, but given how weapons have advanced so much since the amendment was drafted, is the “right to bear arms” truly ethical? In the past several decades, the United States has witnessed an unprecedented number of mass shootings (372 in 2015 alone), increasing in deadliness as citizens gain access to more advanced tech. Despite the frequency of these shootings and the number of victims killed, there has been little effective action taken to curtail these shootings in the United States. While liberals argue that the solution is strict gun regulation, conservatives claim that it infringes on the rights guaranteed by the 2nd amendment. Effectively, we’re forced to ask whether our right to own weapons is ethical in light of these tragedies where many innocent lives are lost. In good faith, I will argue in favor of the liberal argument of strict gun laws.

Your blog brought up many interesting points. It seems as though you are supporting the making of an amendment to counter the 2nd amendment in the Constitution. You stated that times have changed and you are absolutely right. There are not wild animals living on the streets nor are there state militias like there were in the 1700's. However, you also talked about the conservative view that many ignorant Republicans hold. I suggest that you check out this link http://heedinggodscall.org/content/pfctoolkit-10 as it has some astonishing numbers on injury or death related incidents due to firearms. Now check out this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate. As you can see, countries with little

The adoption of the Constitution depended on ratification, or approval, by 9 of the 13 states.

The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise there of; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Christianity is one of the oldest and most popular religions of the United States. This makes it very easy for Christians to be ridiculed. The First Amendment is allegedly ensured to every American, but Christians have to fight to keep their First Amendment Rights.

The second amendment states the right of the people to bear arms, but can giving this much freedom be threatening? "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." There is a lot of debate with the second amendment, are guns safe or threatening to the people of the United States. This issue greatly concerns me because now I think, is it safe to go out, to go to school, or the movies? This issue concerns everyone not only in the US, but around the world.

I am against the Second Amendment which is the right to bare arms for several reasons. Growing up from the city of Chicago which is one of the most violent city's in the world I have seen a lot of violence. I have heard of a lot of relatives and people I knew or my friends knew where either killed or was shot. There was a lot of violence even before they had the conceal to carry law, so being all for the second amendment would go against I believed in.  Growing up I never wanted to bare arms because I felt it should have been in the hands of the law to take care of criminals etc. and not kids or people themselves. Since moving to Las Vegas things are 100% different from where I come from. You still hear about people you

The 2nd amendment of the U.S. Constitutions protects the rights of people to bear arms, such as assault rifles. Are guns to blame? Gun control isn’t the answer. It’s whoever is behind the trigger. I do believe that the United States needs better mental health reforms to help those in need that way no more mass shootings happen. Have you heard or seen the phrase “guns don’t kill people, people do”? As Americans our rights are established on the constitution and the amendments. The 2nd amendment has been a debate since Obama’s administration. After so many mass shootings, it still comes down to, whos fault is it?

The amendments, voting rights and laws being made help or hinder my access to the American Dream as they involve many benefits and issues. Such as the first amendment, the voting rights and a immigration law would greatly benefit my American Dream. I will need the following factors in order to reach my life goal.

Having the opportunity to speak up, give opinions, and express thoughts towards the president are not normal for other countries. The United States has been recognized for being a country of power, but also a place where people can talk about what they like about politics and what they dislike about politics. Unlike Russia, the government recognizes speech itself as a tool of suppression and control (wu). Other countries may have a different mindset towards freedom of speech, but also the ones who were involved in writing the U.S. Constitution because it was written in a different time. If the law of freedom of speech was written during the 21st century there would have been some things to consider due to how freedom of speech is used on social media. Social media has no censorship and it is a tool being used constantly causing to believe that today’s generation lives in a golden age of press harassment (Wu). One can see how social media has become a place where one can express how one feels; in fact, the current president of the United States uses Twitter to tell his followers how he feels about the actions of others. Donald Trump, president of the United States, is constantly trying to remove broadcasters from their licenses, firing journalist and football players for speaking their mind (Wu).

Freedom of speech is part of the first amendment which states, “You are free to say almost anything except that which is obscene, slanders another person, or has a high probability of inciting

In my own personal opinion I believe the First Amendment should not protect corporations and the youth markeking industry. Children's health and well-being shoud be a priorty to our country. It sadness me to learn that the USA is one of the countries with higher youth obesity. If our society and government would focus more on what children need in order to be healthy, our children would have a less of chance to develop weight problems as tennager and young adults in the future. It seems like in this country and perhaps around the world money is more signifcant than children's lives.
