The first amendment was one of the key amendments of the Bill of Rights. Ratified on
December 15, 1791, the first amendment guaranteed the right to free speech, religion,
assembly, press, and the right to petition. The right to free speech allows individuals to openly
express their opinion on any topic and in a non-violent manor. This allows citizens to criticize
