Freedom

Freedom The United States is recognized and admired all over the world, as a representative of liberty and civil rights. The First Amendment to the US constitution, presented in the Bill of Rights passed by Congress on September 25, 1789 and ratified December 15,1791, discusses religious and political freedom. It states in particular that there shall be no “abridging of the freedom of speech, or of the press”. More then two hundred years after its creation, is there a threat to the most famous and fundamental feature of American society' According to John Leo of US News and World Report, the First Amendment is no longer exercised properly. People’s attempts to be politically correct often prevail over the obligation to tolerate the expression of ideas and the right to debate. Mr. Leo states that the country has long been divided on the oppressed and those who oppress. Such perception leads to one-sided views aimed to protect “victims”. For example, the article, “Not fit to leo, mr, states, ideas, freedom, american, amendment, world, two, take, support, students, rights, people’s, over, must, hear, first, discusses, article, zones, years, wide, views, victims, vary, united, tolerate, threat, therapy, station being, speech, society, according, slaves, shall, several, september, separations, separate, right, restrictions, representative, report, reparations, religious, recognized, recent, ratified, rape, publication
