  • Freedom to establish a religion or practice a religion. (This means that the government cannot establish one official religion.)
  • Freedom of speech
  • Freedom of press (i.e. publishing of news and opinions)
  • Freedom to assemble (i.e. protest)
  • Freedom to petition the government for redress of greivances

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the United States Congress from making laws "respecting an establishment of religion" or that prohibit the free exercise of religion, infringe the freedom of speech, infringe the freedom of the press, limit the right to peaceably assemble, or limit the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Here is the actual text of the First Amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; 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."
