Answer 1

freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press

Answer 2

Answer:

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of the press.

Explanation:

The 1st Amendment to the Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights, which was added to the Constitution on December 15, 1791. The Amendment prohibits Congress from passing laws that create a state religion or place one religion over another, prohibit the right to freedom of religion, hinder freedom of expression or freedom of the press, or hinder freedom of association.

The amendment itself explicitly imposes these restrictions on Congress, but over the years several courts have determined that the prohibitions also apply to the executive and judiciary. The Supreme Court ruled that under the provisions of the 14th Amendment, the First Amendment also applies to decisions taken by federal states.
