the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

In this assignment we will be focusing on the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  This is one of the most important parts of the entire document.  Remember the First Amendment includes five key sections and they are: freedom of religion; freedom of speech; freedom of the press; freedom to peacefully assemble; and the freedom to petition government for redress of grievances.  For this assignment you will definitely need The Words We Live By book (pages 130-153).  You are also free to use other reliable and credible sources (do not use Wikipedia and other such sources).  If you are interested in using a source but unsure of its reliability just send me an email and ask.  The Words We Live By book should be mostly all you need.   But again other good and reliable sources can certainly be helpful.  The assignment will have two separate parts and you need to complete both parts in order to be eligible to gain full credit.

Please explain why the First Amendment is important?  Explain each of the five parts of the First Amendment?  How does the First Amendment limit the federal and state governments (in regards to the latter remember “incorporation”)?  Do you think certain kinds of limitations should be put on our constitutional First Amendment rights (remember the First Amendment reads “Congress shall make no law…”)?  How has the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on some cases dealing with First Amendment issues (give at least a few examples from Supreme Court rulings you can find)?
