The First Amendment of the US Constitution has always been needed by citizens of the United States. The freedom of speech, press and religion are necessary to have a representative government.

The First Amendment to the US Constitution, which guarantees freedom of the press, would protect Zenger from prosecution for publishing his newspaper. This amendment shields individuals from government censorship and allows for the dissemination of information and opinions without fear of retaliation or censorship.
Yes, because the 14th Amendment talks about the rights of citizens. It protects citizens from abuses of power from teh government, stating that everybody is entitled to due process.
Parts of the Constitution as originally approved have been changed by amendments. The first ten amendments to the constitution were, in general, additions to the constitution. Parts of the original constitution that have changed include amendments such as the one that provided for the direct election of United States Senators (they were once appointed by the individual State Legislatures.) Although the Fourteenth Amendment profoundly changed the relationship between the constitution and each citizen (by saying that all citizens had equal rights under the law and making the Bill of Rights applicable to all citizens) it was not an amendment that repealed any part of the original constitution specifically. But it did directly and fundamentally change portions of the original constitution in many ways. The Fourteenth Amendment changed the qualifications for elective national office by saying that officers of any state in rebellion against the United States were ineligible for such office, but this provision has essentially 'died off' as no one alive today meets that disqualification.
The First Amendment
The UK doesn't have a written constitution.
There are 27 amendments. All the amendments are neither formal or informal. If an amendment has not gone through the process laid out in the constitution it is not an amendment.
The Equal Rights Amendment was first proposed by Alice Paul in 1923, when it was first introduced to Congress. Since then it has failed to gain momentum in the US Legislature, gaining the most probable chance of passing in 1972 before spending a decade in deliberation before its eventual failure in 1982.
John Paul Zenger would be protected under the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which guarantees the freedoms of speech and the press. This amendment ensures that individuals can publish their opinions and information without fear of government censorship or prosecution, fostering a free and independent press. Zenger's case, which centered on the truth of published statements, would likely be viewed favorably under current interpretations of the First Amendment.
It is no longer valid since George W Bush revoked the constitution in September 2001
