One example of how freedom of speech is use in everyone's life everyday is the writing on all our currency. "In God we trust- is written on every piece of currency we have in the United States. Many people want this taken off, but it is freedom of speech from the government who makes this money. America's view on the Bill of Rights is that the Bill of Rights stands as the high temple of the US Constitutional order.The people of America were told the truth about the amendment. The forefathers communicated that we all deserve equal right s as a country and as people. Not one person or group deserves more power than another. "The first amendment reaffirms the structural role of speech and a free press in a working democracy."" (Amar, 359) There were many reasons why the United States wrote the first amendment. They wrote it for the people and by the people. It was our decision on what the amendments would contain. We, the people made the Constitution that we live by today and are allowed changing at any time. The purpose for this amendment was to tell the people of this wonderful country their rights as citizens. To let everyone know they cannot abuse the privileges, there are withdraws to the rights. In freedom of speech there is libel, in press there is slander, and in separation of church and state you cannot force one person into going to a church they do not want to go to. It was to accomplish justice in the states, to bring equality to the country. In current cases, such as Santa Fe School district Doe, freedom of religion is being brought up. Doe was Jewish man and complaining that if the school did not close the program or open one for his son, he would sue. The school district had a private, student-organized prayer system, and Doe did not approve. He asked the school to close the program and they did not, saying it was a student organization, not having to do with the school district.
