The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is:

"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."

What this means is that citizens have the freedom of religion, speech, and the press (the media and news). Citizens also have the freedom to peaceful assemble (i.e. a peaceful group of protesters with signs as opposed to a mob of violent people who are a danger to others or property.) and the right to petition to the government, which means collecting a large amount of signatures written by citizens.
