Question

Much of the First Amendment to the Constitution like Freedom of Speech and Religion was first thought of by who?

Answer 1

Answer:

Voltaire​

Explanation:

Voltaire was a great defender of individual citizens' freedom. He believed that it was wrong for the state to impose its objectives above the will and choice of citizens, in addition to believing that every citizen had the right to disagree and to complain about controversial actions by the government.

He also advocated tolerance among individuals towards each other's individual freedoms.

These ideas made Voltaire the first to defend religious freedom and freedom of expression, provided as a political and individual freedom. This influenced the creation of the first constitutional amendment.
