Hello everybody.

This was a school assingment for class here it is:

It pokes fun at Britan, Russia, Venezuela and the United States itself.


The First Amendment of our constitution is one of the most essential
freedoms that American people have. It makes sure that our nation is
prohibited from establishing a state religion or prohibiting the expression
of the religion of ones choosing. Government is prohibited from abridging
the freedom of speech or the press or for the people to peacefully assemble
while the government is prohibited from preventing its people from
redressing their grievances to them. 
        Our First Amendments main feature is religious expression. People
fled their original homelands due to religious persecution. In Europe
people were ordered to believe in the ways the state ordered them to.
America was designed so people can express their faith or not profess a
faith if they so decide. Compared to Britain we have no state church and
that makes America great because we do not give an official preference to
religion despite other politicians wanting to shove their particular faith
up the throats of Americans.

        Freedom of speech is vital for a successful society. Without
freedom of speech, there is tyranny. Compared to other nations, you have
the right to say the most idiotic of statements and not go to jail for it.
In the United Kingdom you can go to jail for saying stuff that incites
hatred against a demographic group such as Jews or Muslims. In America, you
can sadly be as bigoted as you want to be and you do not have to worry
about being charged in a court of law. At least in America we know who
dislikes who compared to other nations where bigotry is kept under lock and
key.

        In America the rights of the press is sacred, the marketplace of
ideas helps disburse information to the general public. Compared to
Vladimir Putin, President Obama has not shut down the Fox News channel
compared to other world leaders who shut down the opposition press. This
has made America unique compared to other nations even though our ruling
leaders would dream to have unchecked power.

        In America we can generally protest against the government, but
compared to the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations it seems we are getting
closer to Putins Russia where the media is being prohibited and even jailed
for documenting what the police has done to the protesters. Compared to
other nations, we can parade across major cities to advocate for queer
equality compared to Moscow where people get jailed and beaten for
protesting for their civil liberties.

        For me personally one of the first freedoms I find integral is the
right to redress our grievances to our government no matter if they are in
Sacramento or the District of Columbia. If Governor Brown wants to make it
easy to cull shelter animals and make it heartbreaking if your dog runs out
during the weekend and when you come home your dog ended up put down
because you did not have a realistic chance to claim it then people will
absolutely demonstrate. Right now I am calling and writing my state
assembly and state senate members to make sure they do not support the
governors proposal.

        For the preservation of the United States I would state the freedom
of the press is critical for the survival of the United States. The United
States will die without a free press, but sometimes I believe the press can
be corrupted with the leaders in power. Nations such as Russia and
Venezuela do not have a free press and it makes it easier for dictators and
oligarchs to control the masses. People need to know what their government
stands for and what they are actually doing for us to have a true
representative democratic government.
