Amendment I

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. Simply put, the first amendmend gives citizens of the U.S. the right to express how they feel with their voices (i.e. freedom of speech). This is not the case in most other countries.

Moreover, it gives us the rights to believe and practice any religion of our choosing (i.e. freedom of religion and choice) even if it is no religion at all.

The clause concerning assemblage protects the peoples' right to organize and attempt the creation new law or to change old law. It also protects our right to organize a workers' strike against a company.

One an be imprisoned and quite possibly executed in other nations for practicing what the U.S.A. recognizes as basic human rights.

When creating laws in America, bills are passed through the Legislative Branch (Congress) first and then sent to the Executive Branch (Presidency) where they are either signed into law or vetoed. Therefore, it's important to realize the grandeur of the amendment's first words as well: Congress shall no law. These words negate the possibility of such a law ever reaching the President--they stop it before it starts.
