The First Amendment Part 1 by Miguel, Adrian, Gabby
 First Amendment Part 1 says "Congress shall make no law respecting (about) an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." 

In our own words it says that Congress can't make a law that affects religious people.

The Creation of the Bill of Rights:  In Philadelphia in 1788,the Founding Fathers were trying to pass the Constitution. The Federalists and Anti-Federalists are two groups that formed to debate the Constitution. But the Anti-Federalists didn't like that so they proposed the Bill of Rights. The states were the ones to get together to make the United States. They added the Bill of Rights and worked together. The states needed to compromise. The Importance of the Bill of Rights: The Bill of Rights and the First Amendment are important now because without it many things would go wrong, and this amendment is important because there is the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press and the right to the public assembly. Nobody would like to live on a place where you get arrested just for going to church or telling the people that you disagree with the government. Thats why we need the Bill of Rights so we can all have freedom on what we are going to do.  Our Bill of Rights: Everyone has the right to safety. Everyone has the right to liberty. Everyone has the right to freedom. Everyone has the right to vote. Everyone has the right to rights. Everyone has the right to have babies. Everyone has the right to respect each other. Everyone has the right to live. Everyone has the right to be treated equally. Everyone has the right to love.
