No, this is not one of the first 10 amendments.
Not directly. However, U.S. Const., Amend. 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." (Emphases added).
Certainly, then, with these clauses within Amendment I, plus the overall effect of the system of checks and balances instituted in and by Articles I, II and III, and the Amending Formula of Article V, the Constitution's drafters intended for the people to always remain engaged with their government.
What else can I help you with?
The original Constitution did not contain a Bill of Rights it did protect the individual right to?
Yes. The original constitution starts with the assumption that *ALL* power is held by the people, and *NO* power is held by the government. It then sets up a structure for government, and grants specific powers to the government. Any power NOT granted to the government is held by the people, or by the states. The Bill of Rights was added as an additional guarantee so that people who believed that government would take more power than it was granted would vote to ratify the constitution. Rights are always held by people. A government can infringe on those rights, can restrict them, but cannot take them away. Therefore it is technically wrong to say that, for example, the 1st Amendment GRANTS a right. It does not. That right was always there. The 1st Amendment GUARANTEES a right. The same for all of the amendments in the Bill of Rights that specificall
