1st Amendment
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.
1st Amendment-Discussion
Arguably the most important amendment of them all. Not to say that the others aren't important just that this small paragraph states the most fundamental of American rights. It lets us, without fear of government (most the time), to say, write, believe, and tell those beliefs to others. So without this tiny addition to the Constitution we would not have near as many rights and freedoms as we do today. So I guess it might have been worth the ink and space.
