The United States, from the first day of its existence, has been a democracy, ruled by the people and social equality for all. For the nation to be a democracy, the people of the nation need rights to make sure that the government won't have too much power. The freedom of religion originated mainly when immigrants came to this country to escape religious persecution, and this has been an important part of the United States. The freedom of speech, press, and petition allow people to let the government know of their opinions so that it will be a country with laws that the majority would agree to. If these freedoms weren't given to us, the United States would soon turn into one with despotic rule, and this wouldn't be much different from when the country was under the rule of the British. That's why the first amendment is important to this country today. :)
