Without looking it up, I can think of right of free assembly, free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press.
The other one is the above "petition...grievances" clause. |

Freedom of religion. Right, just don't pray in a public building.
Freedom of Assembly. Right, just don't do it in Waco Texas. Freedom of Press. Sure, just don't print anything bad about Democrats Free Speech. OK, as long as you don't say the "N" word. Redress of Grievences. Still haven't gotten my letter back from Ted Kennedy on why the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply to me. Alive and strong.

Here is something that i find real SAD. For all you neo-totalitarians who say Bullshit like "driving is a priveldge not a right" or other such nazi BS. The FF SAID that we have more rights than are enumerated in the constitution!!!!!!!!!! But as usual the power grabbing courts and lawyers have made that sentiment all but useless. The problem was the FF never spelled out what those rights were so the people who are against people having rights used it as an excuse to basically say that we have NO rights excpet those spelled out totally in the Constitution.
What Am i talking about???? Look up the 9th Amendment of the constitution!!!!! it says( the blue is my added words)"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others (meaning other rights) retained by the people." This essentially says that there are other rights retained by the people that are not nessessarily spelled out by the COTUS! If you basically take the "anti-rights" stance of some people on this board (driving is a priveldge) that the ONLY rights we have are those given to us by the Govt and COTUS then you are acting against the wish the the FF's. Like that ever stopped some of the faschists on this board.

  You have got to be joking No like I said you have NO 1st Amendment and little to NO protection of free speech. And you just PROVED it. That would be laughable if not so sad. That horseshit gives the STATE the RIGHT to contorl speech on any gounds it can dream up... That creepy document is a license for the State to stamp all over free speech. |

Then again, we have the campaign finance reform abomination that limits political speech. Oh,and we have to get permits to have a public demonstration. As with the rest of Europe and the rest of the "free world",we Americans are all busy voting ourselves back into totalitarianism. |

What about abortion? It's got to be in there somewhere, doesn't it? |

[#25]
Abortion is this one The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Because you know, stopping someone from getting an abortion is an unreasonble search and/or seizure |

Yeah, it's actually pretty ironic when you stop and consider that the SCOTUS has no problem allowing unreasonable searches and seizures..................yet somehow twisted the logic to protect the seizure of preemees. ........Strange days indeed.......Strange days indeed. |

This is stupid.
If the question was "What does the first amendment protect?" a much higher percentage would be able to answer "freedom of speech", which doesn't cover everything but I'm willing to say is "close enough" for most people to know. But asking to name, bullet-point, all 5, is obviously going to net a lower answer. I wonder what the percentage was that ONLY missed the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. This "study" was done to make a point, and was set up to make that point. Not surprising. I'm willing to bet that most people know what the first amendment is. You don't need to remember the exact wording to know what it is. Besides, everyone knows that the important ones are 2 and 10.
