To me the most inportant law of the first ammedment is the freedom of speech. this is because with out this law many people will be geting arrested and sent to jail like the britsh did to gandhi when he atemted to say things that oppose the britsh goverment. Another reason is because with out us being able to say things that we dont like the goverment will not change at all and we will be very un happy and we will still ahve the same problems in which the goverment will never listen to us.
And last but not least if we were not able to say things that oppose the goverment then we will never be able to make a change that will make the country better for the citzens that live in it.
CASE CLOSED BY RYAN WILLIAMS
This is nelson mandela the one I think is the most important I think is the judicial branch, because it is the judges tha get to pick how thy want to stay. they also get to make disions that they think is right. they also get to to have power over the president.
Can you ever imagine a time that you could not have freedom of spech and could not have the right to vote. that it how it is in countries that are not in domocrosies. If you did not have freedom you could not make your own disions. you would not be able to go get food when you want to. you would have any food given to you not by choice but by over powerment.
Imagine you had a war and you did not like it you would not be able to speak out about it, they throw you in jail for speaking your opinion.freedom of spach is what gives you that right.
Finally,if the president was not oing well you can protest aganst it.
The First Amendment of Bill of Rights I believe is most important is freedom of speech because without freedom of speech I cant speak my fellings or mind.in addition how am I going to communicate with anyone to say what I want when I have to say certain things.
But how did our leaders make us free without freedom of speech. We need to clear our mind with bad thoughts and think positive. We need freedom of speech to learn. Like for example in africa they had to learn about how great white people are. But how about indian,african american,or french or guyanese. That is why Freedom of Speech is most important.
Marcus Garvey,
In my personal opinion, I think that '' Freedom of religion'' is the most important part of the 1st amendment, this is why. For example, if we dont have freedom of religion, then we wouldn't know what to believe in, or abide on, because we would be in a big world with a big ? on it. In addition, with religion, at least we wouldnt always have to be living talking about Bush, instead of religion. Also, religion is what keeps everyday people black, whie, cream, cholcate, e.t.c alive. Why u might ask because its ''RELIGION''.
I still dont think u know what freedom of religion is, is not just being all about religion, its about being able to still hold on to your American,Dominican,Guynese,India,Chinese,e.t.c,e.t.c. We are free people, freeeeee, free to hold on to the grapevine of religion,free to hold on to the grapevine of culture, free to spread your natural roots. Therefore, ''Freedom of Religion'' is very important to me, for these reasons.
Hello my name is ponyboy and I just wanted to tell you thatdid you ever know about the bill of rights well there are 10 amendments well the one that I really wanted to tell you about is how the most important amendment to me is the freedom of religion. the reason why I chose that bill of rights or may I say freedom of rights is because that they should have the right to find out more about other people's religion that they nevre knew about.
My final reason why I think that the freedom of religion is the most important is because that they can't even learn about there own religion and they can't do that in class then why can't teachers do it and students can't even do it so why should they do it and we can't.
Mother Teresa is here....
I personally believe all parts of the Bill of Rights are extremely important but the one in particular standing out to me is the right stating,'FREEDOM OF SPEECH'.That right in particular boldly stands out to me because as a person I feel it is beyond important to always be truthful to yourself and speak your mind from begining to end.
After a while of 'GOING ALONG WITH THE FLOW' you'll become caught up with your under-cover -role and you'll change who you are on account of it.At some points in your life the best thing to do right then and there is keep some thoughts in to avoid major conflicts.other-wise you should remember to always be true to yourself and make use to the right stating.'FREEDOM OF SPEECH'.
this is Anne Frank saying '' what's poppin ?!''.
One of the most important ones out of the 1st Amendment in the Bills of Right is ''The Freedom of Speech''because i believe you can say anything you want unless you don't harm the ones of others.
Another reason is can you imagine that in a time period you live in, that you can't say what you want to say about issues that bother you and people in the world.
Finally, the last reason is because being to say what you want means that you and your goverment are established in that way, not violent and that you have the freedom[rights] that you should and everybody should get.
One example is when would like to talk about Presidents reactions and moves for a better country and nation .Another is if you want to talk about education and your school and violence.
Can you imgine a place where you could not speak your mind?
Freedom of speech is the most important speech because then i will be able to speak the truth. And say what is on my mind. Because if there was a place where you could not speak your mind we would explode.And people cant keep things bottled up forever.For example aparthied people could not speak speak their minds without a consequence.And whats going on in iraq and bush is putting peoples families in danger with the people in iraq.
hi peeps dis is Dolores huerta here chillin like last time.
the one i believe is most important is freedom of speech because you should be aloud to say what you want. it is a free country. we should also have the freedom of speech because what would this world be if we did not have the right of freedom of speach. for example if something really bad happened and it was something for the gorernment to learn about and to know then we should be able to have to speak up and say something about it.another example is if we did not have the freedom of speech then there would be no government because theres nobody to vote for the government.
hello, this is justice.
Out of all 10 amendments, i would choose freedom of speech because if someone was to take freedom of speech away from me i would be mad because then i wouldn't have any way to express how i feel or i won't have any way to defend myself in a agruement.
I choose freedom of speech because, 1. if someone was to take away your freedom to speak about something, it wouldn't be fair to you or others. another reason is you don't have the right to talk at all. and the final reason is that when you are asked a question you are not allowed to speak.
This is ponyboy curtis
do you ever get to tell what is wrong to the goverment.well i get to tell the goverment what is wrong with things in the world.and people should be able to do that.
one reason is that if the goverment
makes a bad choice you should tell him that is not right to do that you should make a better chocie tell him what to do.
second reason is that the goverment is making all these houses you should tell him to stop making all those houses because they are taking up to much space.
third reason is that people are doing what ever they want so tell the goverment that hes wrong and he should stop people from doing all those crime.
Hi it's me Freedomwriter. I think that the freedom of religion is the most important part of the first amendment. I think that because people have the right to practice their religion without the risk of death or some other risk. I think that if we didn't have the freedom of religion then the Catholics would take over and make everybody go to church on Sunday. it would be hard for Seventh-Day Adventist to do that because they got to church on the Saturday.
People would have to follow their religon and their practices. Like Seventh-Day Adventist don't eat pork and sea creatures without scales and fins. we don't wear jewlery,we don't confess our sins to a preist. why would we confess to a preist instead Adventist confess God up in heaven.Seventh-Day Adventist worship on the Saturday becuase whenGod created the Earth in the six days He rested on the Seventh Day. That is why Seventh-day Adventist are called that becuase we are Seventh day Christians.
Sometimes the government makes laws that you don't agree on. You want the United States is supose to listen to your consern . The Freedom to petition the government is important because you can address the government in any way you want.
This is the most inportant rule because if you don't agree with a rule you can talk to them about you concern about religion,racsim, the wrong of the United States and more. This gives you the power to change what you think is wrong in the world. Th government's rule affect the United States. Living with what you don't believe in can lead to fights and wars because your expressing you thoughts in anger.
Freedom fo petition the government is inportant because the government may not see theis but their are mamy wrongs in the country. If you address them one by one he world gets better and better. Gandi saw the wrong in the world when no one did and India became better all because he addressed it. If you don't agree with what the government does the world isn't better. Addressing it make you happy and other people happy.
Many laws start from the govermnent. Some people in the government may not see this but there are alot of people with no homes food and shelther. The freedom of petition the government is important because right now the
First , thing is that Martin Luther King would have never been able to have equal rights.Second is that Rosa Parks would have said what she said to that colcasion bus driver then coloreds would have never been abl to sit in the front of the bus. Lastly with out freedom of speech then many things will not be th same.
xplit's my right duh. i'ma do what i have to do what i have to do. it's rosa parks here and heres what i think.......
sometimes i wonder what it would be like if we were not allowed to follow or be apart of the bill of rights. i think everyone should be able to have freedom. these are the first few amendments....
freedom of speech
freedom of religion
freedom of the press
freedom of assembly
freedom to petition the government
now tell me if you had a choice to say which you would rather have if you had to only choose one. well i know which one i would pick freedom of speech for 3 reasons #1 suppose you see some one or something is not right. #2 some one/something did something wrong what am i suppose to do forget about it and live my life knowing that i witnessed something and i could not do anything. my last reason i would choose freedom
of speech is because i need to talk. talking is a part of life. talking is gift.

Hi, I'm Cesar Chavez and I believe freedom of speech is important because if you're boss is doing something bad, you can speak out against it. In addition, if people are getting tired of this boss and his old ways, you can improve it.
Second, imagine if Brooklyn has a bad environment and you want to tell the president. You should have the freedom to do so.
Finally, if war is about to happen and you think it's not necessary, you should have the freedom to say this no matter what.
And personally, if I want to tell my parents how I feel about them treating me like a baby, I should have that right.
Love-
I belive the most important law of the first ammedment is freedom of press. I choose this because if you don't get express you're freedom of press you won't really be able to write about how you feel about certin political things.For example there is a writer named bill simmons he writes about things regarding to president Bush. Also i think that freedon of press is important because people may want to write about what they want. Freedom of the press is an important rule. That a constitution in law.
Freedom of press is diffrent then any of the amedments. Many miss the chance to express their opinion. Nelson Mandela was a politica; writer at times when he was in prison. Gandhi was at times a very good political writer. But out of all Anne frank is the best poltical writer of all. Immagine if all of these people did'nt get there freedom of press.
Opinions from oscar winning Dred Scott.
Goodevening ladies and Gentlemen. On todays show I will talk about the 5 amendments and the one that is most important to me. The amendment that is important to me is " Petition the government ".
I wonder if half the people in the US government are even from the US. The are the reason why Our country does not have that much money. They are giving millions and billions of US dollars to all these celebrities who don't even deserve it nor use it. If I half to set a world record to be the youngest person ever to petition the government then I will.Since Paris Hilton went to jail she doesn't need to still get paid.....SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A J.O.B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this Freedom of assaembly out of these ten amendment becuase I feel that if you have an idea that you think is wrong you could express your feeling in a protest but in a peaceful way. Second, you could make your voice heard even though other people can't stand up for they self you could stand up for them . You'll be leaders like Martin Luther King .Jr ,or Rosa parrks.Third you could make a new accomplishment or a new lawof this reason or why you think this should be proven to America , but the things that matters the most is how you performed it.
In conclusion i think freedom of assrembly is important becuase o f the peaceful ness and structure you can use through out this one amendment.
Hi I am Langston Hughes.
The freedom I think that is the most important is "Freedom of speech". The reason why we should have this freedom is because if we didn't have this freedom America would end up like India in the 1900's. In the 1900's Indians were not allowed this freedom including Mahatma Gandhi. Also in South Africa people were not able to have this freedom as well. Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi helped South Africans and Indians to have this freedom.
A country without the freedom of speech it would be crazy. Their would be riots everywhere. Many people would die without this freedom. American would be like World War 2 in Germany. If any told me I didn't have this freedom It would be pretty hard for me because I love to speak out.
I think the most important thing to me forom the bill of rights is, freedom of religion. This is important to me because if ypu are a religon and the government change it you might not like it.Say for excample say you are a Muslim and you cant eat meat and milk at the same time{some of them} and the government change them to religon that have to eat meat and milk at the same time they could hurt them self because they have it for a reason. That why we have our own choice to change our religon.
Hello muy name is Robert Frost. I think that we should have free rights for religon. This is because wants a person has a certain religon it is hard for that person to change his or her ways and also their thouhgts. Which ends up starting a conflict between people. For example in India with the Hindus and the Muslims in the 1900's.
Inaddition if we all had the same religon in the whole world. any people will start preaching in the street loud, many people will get annoyed. This is because we will already know the tings the person who is preaching is saying. So the person will just be wasting his or her time telling things from the bible that we alreadyknow. So this why every one shold have the oppurtunity to do so as well. Personaly I follow a certain religon and if any onwe talled me other wise I will be very upseting and diffulcult for me to do other wise.
DO you beleive a world were you cant celebrate your own religon? I think the most impotant law is freedom of religion for many reasons.First religon is what make culture which makes food that make our diet, it dos'nt only make favorite food it also make our ways of writing.Here are some examples arabric, comicscan , and more.Finally without this law everyone would only be celerbrating one religion, which will be unfiar to others and mabey the world would be a terrorising world
i also think that you should have freedom of speech.if you think that something that the goverment is doing wrong you have a right to say something about it. in some countries you would not be able to say anything about the goverment then they would get in trouble. but peope should have a right to say what ever they want about the goverment that owns there country. think about it, if you lived in a counrty some where else in the world and if you said something about the goverment you should get i trouble. but some people in the U.S people take advantage of that freedom because in other counries people can't say anything. but in this counrty you can hve a protest and not get in trouble. but it depends on what the protest is about.
what up,this peace{shalonda}. I think my important bill of rights is THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION. I think this is most important because during this sitiuation illegal immigrants and people from the same country had right and don'ts. They didn't let them practice they religion, you never know a knew born baby could been born and when the baby grow older it wouldn't know what to do in they culture or country.
I also think that the freedom of speech is another important one because they wouldn't let the illegal immigrants speak their right. All wanted was for the illegal immigrants to make their country better.
Whats's Up My Name Is Nikki G The Amendment That I think is most important is Freedom Of Speech i think most people have alot to say, not alot of poeple get listen to and they have useful words.When Martin Luther King Jr. was alive and even though he was black during segregation times many whites black listen to him and he made a change with only his words. He Made such a change that when he died many people took after him.Also i think freedom of speech shold be the most important because you need as much people to speech and make sence as much as you need people to listen. When the slaves were freed they didnt just wake up one day and say lets free the slaves, no people had fights, arguments ,protests against this but then are black people stood up for themselves and said were not going to fight we are going to make peace as the animals you say we are when you killed us and beat us and tocherd us because were the animals and the ones that dont belog on earth.
In addition the right of speech is most wanted bcause people make a fool out of you because your different but your wotrds are worth a million.
Hi my name is Sojourner Truth and I beleive in all the rules each one to me is special in their own way. Freedom of religion is important to me because you should have the right to practice your own religion than to have someone tell you you cannot practice your religion. That just wouldn't be fair. Freedom of press is important to me also because the press should have the right to write what they want. Some may disagree others may not it's just a right they have. Freedom of assembly is important to me because you should have the right to have a meeting without someone telling you and others you cannot have a meeting. It's like being in your house and when you are having a meeting with your family someone bursts in and tells you, you cannot have a meeting that should be your choice. Freedom of speech is also important because you should have the right to talk and make community speeches about how you feel but you have to be aware of what you say because it could defend some others. And Freedom to petition the goverment is important because the goverment should not get away with things that are not fair say if you think a rule is unfair,you think strongly about it, and you think the goverment should know how you feel go ahead challenge them. You could end up winning. These Bills Of Rights are so important because before no one had these rights like Gandhi,Nelson Mandel and others. Now that we have it we shouldn't abuse it. To others America is a free state we have more and lots of opportunities.
THEREFORE THESE RULES ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.
THANK YOU!
Freedom of religion and freedom of speech are importatnt to me because they fall under the same thing.Freedom of religion is important because if the person's tradtions were past down from their ansestors on to them then that's very important.If the government doesn't agree that's understood they have their opioin and we have ours.If the government doesn't them then what's the point of even coming to NewYork or any other state or country if you can't follow your religion.Immagrintes come to diferent homes to do one of the following 1)to help their family back home or 2)to resettle to led a better life.
Back in the 1800's something called apartied started what happend was white british people took over the land and made the africans their slaves.A couple of years past and Nelson Mandala came to stop it. Just think that the immagrintes are the slaves(who want to follow their religion)and you are the british(who want everything to their selves.
I believe that the law of religon for many reasons. frist, evidence proves that religon is a major issue in school because one stundent believes that we should pray before a test but another stundents religon they can not do that, their is a promblem. Second, also so religons dont allow them to study a specfic class then they will need to get in a different school or class. Thrid, in some school they are not allowed to wear their flags because it can start a physical and veribal fights over a religon or culture.
A few times people were not be able to express their religon:
***Jews during the holocaust when Hitler came to power.
***South Africans during Apartheid when Europing.
***Blacks in slavery.
-Alice W.
Although all of them are very important for many resons,one of them on my opinion is very important. the one that is most important is "Freedom of speech".
"Freedom of speech" is most important to me for many reasons. First, it is important because you have the ability to voice out your opinion on things. You can let everyone know how you feel. If you dont feel comfortable with something, you can let people know why. Also it is important because if we disagree with a rule that is set or anything related to that then you can let the authorities or the president know.
Second, "Freedom of speech" is important because not many other countries had or have the right to speak up. For example, in some countries people would get arrested or hurt for saying things. It happened in the past during slavery and many places like south africa, germany uring the holocaust, and in india when ghandi was alive.

This is Lauryn Hill , out of the ten admenndments i think the freedom of assamebly is important to the bill of rights becuase of the following reason.
The first reason i pick freedom of assamebly is because if the goverment makes a law you dont like you can go against it in a calm way.second,i think its important is because for example illegal immigrants . some people is illegal immigrants america ,president George Bush wants to get rid of illegal immigrants ,illegal immigrants could go against that by speaking up.third yo u can be a leader like martin luther king jr. and rosa parks.
in conclusion,the bill of rights,the ten andmenments the freedom of assembly is important becuase of these reasons above
