The First Amendment to the US Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights in that same document. Its values are what freedom is all about. This amendment forbids the government from establishing a religion, and prohibiting the free exercise of religion. The amendment calls for freedom of speech, freedom for the press and the right of the people to assemble in peace to petition the government and call for the redress of grievances. All of these are vital for a free society.
