Freedom

Freedom Government’s Opinion of Freedom Vs. The Definition of Freedom In the song “God Bless the U.S.A.,” the lyrics are “I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free, and I won’t forget the men who died that gave that right to me.” Many years ago, our four fathers put together the Constitution in order to insure us that we are and always will be free. What does freedom actually mean' Freedom means carrying out ones own actions without coercion or constraint by necessity or circumstances. Today the government’s opinions of freedom share some of the same characteristics as the definition, but their opinions have too many limitations to actually classify our country as completely free. The First Amendment of the Constitution was written to guarantee one’s freedom of religion. This amendment prohibits congress from setting up or supporting an official church. In addition, it forbids congress from passing laws limiting worship. The First Amendment states that congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Although this may be true, this does not mean that all religious practices must be allowed.
