What would we do without the First Amendment?

The First Amendment prohibits government interference in free expression, religion, and individual and public protests against government policies. It prohibits the law from infringing on the freedom of press and freedom of the press. Without the First Amendment much of media would not be allowed.

If you think about it, much of media is the opinion of the person who writes it or says it. There would be much less stories because most things you read are opinionated and have little fact to them.

This would greatly affect elections because people and the press would not be able to say bad things the knew about the politician or start any drama with things that are not true.

Also, media is used as a watchdog against the government. Media acts as a role in government to ensure that it is accountable to the public. The First Amendment allows for people to say or write whatever they would like to about anything. People can complain about the government and this allows for people to become aware of problems or speculations in the government and this awareness leads to people demanding change.

We would not know half the things we do today if the First Amendment did not allow freedom of speech and press.
