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.

In four to six sentences, explain how the structure of the First Amendment supports equal weight of each freedom it guarantees.

The most understood aspect of the 1st amendment is the freedom of speech. This allows people to express themselves, and the Supreme court must have justification to interfere with it.

The freedom of press is the same thing. It allows people to express themselves through the media and publications.

The right to assemble allows people to gather together, as long as it's peaceful and not harmful. The government can intervene if they see anything illegal happening.

The right to petition guarantees that any wrong doing from the government or courts can be fought, allowing people to work together to make change.
