First Amendment Part 2 by: Joshua & Christian The second part of the First Amendment says "**Congress shall make no law** **abridging (taking away)** **the freedom of speech, or of the press .** " We rewrote the amendment to say that no one from Congress can make laws taking away freedom of speech, or of the press.

The Creation of the Bill of Rights: In Philadelphia 1788, the Founding Fathers were creating the Constitution. The Founding Fathers were passing the Constitution. Two groups of people had different opinions of passing the Constitution. They proposed the Bill of Rights. The Founding Fathers had to compromise to add the Bill of Rights to the Constitution.

The Importance of the Bill of Rights:  The Bill of Rights and the First Amendment are important now because it has freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press and the right to public meetings. If we didn't have a First Amendment we couldn't protest wars. We also couldn't have freedom to say "I hate the president." This is important now because if we didn't have freedom of speech we couldn't speak our mind.
