Examples of the 1st amendment?
The first amendment of the United States Constitution protects the rights of freedom of religion, press, petition, speech, and the right to peaceably assembly. The Amendment states that it guarantees freedom of religion, of speech, and of the press, and the right to assemble peaceably and to petition the government. It clearly states a person's basic rights to live in the United States of America. One of the major things it does is it prevents the government from controlling the nation and all its information. It goes along to state that the person has freedom to political speech as well. This amendment also separates the government from the church. This amendment is so very important, that without it, our nation would not be the way it is today. If someone were to say one thing bad about the person who runs the country, that person would possibly be arrested and jailed. Trial would not even help because before the amendment was made, trials were very unfair.

Why was the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution unconstitutional?
The 18th Amendment to the Constitution is unconstitutional because it violates private property rights. To understand this more fully, one will notice that he can plug into the wording of the amendment virtually any piece of property and it reads logically, as in, "After one year from the ratificatio of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of (meatballs) within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for (consumption) purposes is hereby prohibited." It is clear that the U.S. Constitution was never meant to prohibit people from owning property of any kind.

While The 16th Amendment addresses the levying of income tax among the state's populations, nowhere in the Constitution is "taxation without representation" mentioned.

This amendment is about freedoms of speech & religion. Previously, the people who came to the United States people legally had to worship as the King told them they must. Under the first amendment, citizens of the US are free to worship (or to not) as they believe is right without being stopped by the government. It protected religion from "state".A start to what speech is not protected by the first amendment is:"Which types of speech are not protected by the First Amendment?Although different scholars view unprotected speech in different ways, there are basically nine categories:ObscenityFighting wordsDefamation (includes libel, slander)Child pornographyPerjuryBlackmailIncitement to imminent lawless actionTrue threatsSolicitations to commit crimesSome experts also would add treason, if committed verbally, to that list.
