The First Amendment did not grant nor could it guarantee any rights. It was strictly a restrictive clause---prepared days after the ninth amendment that had people retain all rights mentioned in the First Amendment and many others. If there was any guarantee inferred by the First Amendment, it was that the government would not pass any laws that would abridge or cut short the rights -- already granted -- that was mentioned. Just like the Second Amendment which did not grant the right to own and bear arms (which was already in existed) but that the government shall not infringe upon that right. The first 10 amendments were not a Bill of Rights, and the Ninth referred to the Declaration of Rights already in existence in 1776-77, and those initiated and embedded into the developing free society, some for over 150 years in Virginia.
