1st Amendment

1st amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; 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 grievances.

This amendment guarantees freedom of religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. 

The 1st Amendment is important because with out it, the government would be able to control a huge part of our lives that we should have freedom for.
