"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. "



I don't see how "the people" have freedom of speech. The way it is worded
the people can only assemble and petition. Now this is only "the people"
which is a collective term. It doesn't say that individuals have any right
to petition or to speak freely. I don't see any rights "given" to the
"press", it doesn't even say the press has free speech. What is the press
protected from or what right is enumerated here? I don't see any at all.
