The first amendment to the constitution protects a few basic freedoms to the American people. It was ratified in 1791.
The basic freedoms it protects are freedoms of expression, such as free speech, freedom of religion, freedom to assemble, freedom to petition the government, and freedom of the press.
It prevents the government from making any law that interferes with these freedoms.
Conflict between other countries that are Russian allies always causes concern for war-weary americans because if the conflict continues, our government will be obligated to get involved.
