How does the First Amendment begin?

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 5 rights does the 1st amendment cover?

Amendment I to the United States Constitution:

"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."

That "Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion" is called the Establishment clause. Constitutional law generally recognizes that the government cannot establish a state religion or state-sponsored religion, or do acts or omissions that tend to this.

That "Congress shall make no law...prohibiting the free exercise [of religion]" is called the Free Exercise clause. Constitutional law here generally recognizes that no "excessive entanglements" are to occur between the state and the private practice of religion.

That "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech" is called the Freedom of Speech clause. This is one of the most pervasive of the fundamental individual rights. The extent of freedom of speech is subject to some narrow choate and inchoate exceptions arising in certain societal-value-of-speech considerations including those sounding in defamation law.

That "Congress shall make no law...abridging...freedom...of the press" is called the Freedom of thePress clause. It assures that the Press is to be entirely free from government repression as to its freedom and function. This clause is similarly interpreted in light of societal-value-of-speech considerations and in defamation law.

That "Congress shall make no law...abridging...the right of the People peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" is the Freedom of Assembly and Petition clause. Some reasonable encumbrances can be imposed, such as venue permits, free-speech considerations, et cetera. Subsumed within this clause are the freedoms of intimate and expressive association.

Why was the third amendment added to the Bill of Rights?

The Founding Fathers had experienced the policy (Quartering Act of 1765) of the British monarchy stipulating that colonists provide temporary housing and other necessities to British soldiers stationed in the American colonies. Viewed as an indirect tax by the colonists, the British government argued that since British Regulars were stationed in North America to protect the colonists from encroachment from both French forces and their Indian allies, the colonists should assist in financing the British expeditionary force. With passage of the Intolerable Acts of 1774, the British monarchy further strengthened the law requiring colonists to quarter soldiers. In particular, British soldiers requesting quarter in the homes of colonists living in Boston, Massachusetts were viewed with suspicion; the belief among many Bostonians was that these soldiers were determining the loyalty of the American colonists and/or attempting to locate members of the Sons of Liberty.

In order to avoid this circumstance in the future, the State delegations approved this amendment as part of the Bill of Rights.

Can you record police officers in public?

It depends.

Usually, in a public place, anything is public property and you're free to film it. This is the reason why CCTV is allowed.

However, there are some situations which you will not be allowed to film. For example, secret operations by intelligence agencies. Capturing these on film will result in an extremely heavy fine and confiscation of electronic equipment such as cameras and computers - under the Official Secrets Act (or an equivalent law depending on country).

It is also a persons right that they are not filmed when requested. So, if a public servant tells you to stop filming, you must obey.

Do people still debate on the seventh amendment?

The Executive and Legislative and Judicial Branches are corrupt to the core! Right to a trial by jury of one's peers is the Seventh Amendment. The highest court in the land is the Common Law Grand Jury - not the Supreme Court, who are some criminals! We need the Seventh Amendment! Answer Absolutely, perhaps now more than ever before. The power of the government, whether state or federal, is so strong that almost anyone can be charged with a crime and convicted. If the decision to convict a person were solely in the hands of the government, all persons charged with crimes would be convicted whether innocent or guilty, because it is the government which brings the charges in the first place.
