The First Amendment protects several rights and freedoms: speech, religion, assembly, press, and the right to petition the government. Name one.
Remember the mnemonic RAPPS: Religion, Assembly, Press, Petition, Speech. Picture someone speaking about their religion at a gathering, while the press takes notes for a petition.
The First Amendment is arguably the most important amendment because it protects the freedoms that allow democracy to function — the ability to speak freely, worship freely, and hold the government accountable.
Pick one: 'Speech' or 'religion.' Use RAPPS to remember all five.
