Favorite article/amendment.:

First Amendment

Why is it my favorite.:

Because the first amendment includes five freedoms for each and every American. When I was teaching middle school social studies I really emphasized to my students how important these five freedoms are to our Democracy, to We The People. Also how each freedom comes with caveats about the exercise of these freedom, with rights come responsibilities.
