Question

If I was a reporter in the country of Washington D.C and the President sent the Secret Service and they told me that I cannot report anything about the president anymore. What amendment is the government infringing on (what amendment protects me from that)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The First Amendment

Explanation:

In the United States Constitution, the First Amendment state that "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."

Thus, Freedom of the PRESS is part of the United States First Amendment, that protects the right of individuals to acquire and disseminate data or viewpoints without government censorship or concern of penalty.

Hence, in this case, the amendment the government is infringing on is THE FIRST AMENDMENT
