This Is Kind Of Sad.

According to an AP report published in yesterday's Star Tribune, only one in four people can name more then one freedom guaranteed in the first ammendment, but more then half can name more then two members of the Simpsons family.

One in five people thouoght the first ammendment included the right to own a pet, and 38% thought that the right against self incrimination (fromt he fifth ammendment) was a first ammendment right.

So why is this sad? Because the Constitution the most important document in America's history, and in my opinion, the first ammendment is the most important part. The freedoms of Speach, religion, assembly, and press are what makes this country so great.

So here is the first ammendment. Also, here is a link to the The Constitution.

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.
