Do we even want to begin to think of what life would be like? Civil liberties are here to protect all American citizens. With as much violence and hatred that still exists in America, civil liberties is protection from that violence and hatred. For starters racism STILL exists in America. Racial discrimination still exists as well. Now we have sexual discrimination and discrimination based up a chosen sexuality. Without those civil liberties there would be countless numbers of death, an increased rate of crime, the continuous prejudice against whomever via mass media, religion would cease to be a place of humane equality. Religious institutions would only house those who are completely indulged in the faith. Homosexuals would be beaten and abused on higher scales. I'm sure discrimination against African Americans and other minorities will be on the rise as well. America needs civil liberties to protect everyday people.

Without the first amendment what would happen?

Without the First Amendment, the fundamental freedoms of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition would be severely restricted. Citizens would face greater government censorship and repression of dissenting views, limiting public discourse and the exchange of ideas. This could lead to a more authoritarian society where criticism of the government and minority opinions are silenced, undermining democracy and individual rights. Overall, the absence of the First Amendment would hinder social progress and the protection of civil liberties.
