How does first amendment limit the federal gov ?

     The first amendment limits the federal government because the government can't do anything if i talk stink. But not all forms of speech are protected. For example it doesn't protect fighting words,    and lawless actions. Another example is that some places such as Russia when they talk stink they go jail, but in the United State the government can't do anything about it.

COURT CASES ~

     One court case i know is about the Pussy Riot. It talks about 3 members imprisoned in Russia that talks trash about the president and got arrested and been in jail for 2 years. This refer to the first amendment freedom of speech because in the U.S we have the freedom to say anything and share our ideas as long as it doesn't hurt anyone but not some states or country don't have this freedom. I also think that they should free them. I feel sad about this because they had the freedom to speak and say anything but they got arrested for it .

First amendment.

 First amendment ....  " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or phrobiting the free there of; 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 greivance ".

 And one of the rights in the bill of rights i choose is the freedom of speech . I choose this because i been told that i couldn't say anything but now i know that we could say anything we want, because it is one of our freedoms .

 Our founding fathers created this amendment to settle down other people and also United State. 

This is important to me because i can say anything without going jail because each of us have the freedom to do something with out anyone telling us what to do, and no one can take this away from us because this is one of the bill of rights.

The bill of rights ^-^
