Constitutional Connection- Amendment 1; Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression

"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."

Explanation of Connection- This political cartoon is about how a man is giving the editor a paper talking about his passion with his wife, he is writing things that might excite people and sell papers because gossip makes money. 

This cartoon demonstrates Amendment 1 Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression of the United States Constitution. The first amendment gave people the right to do many things. One of the rights is freedom of press which gives people the right to be in their vehicle and get media by recording people.

I really think that there should not be a freedom of press because the paparazzi is invading people privacy. Some people who are gossipers say mean, horrible, and sometimes untrue things about celebrities. People need to know when to give celebrities privacy.

First Amendment- Freedom of speech

Constitutional Connection- Amendment 1; Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression
"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."


Explanation of Connection- This article is about how a man is speaking for everyone to the government talking about how animal cruelty should stop and how the government is not doing anything about it and that many animals will suffer if animal cruelty is not stopped.


This article demonstrates Amendment 1; Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression of the United states Constitution. When the first amendment was ratified December 15, 1791, it gave people the right to say whatever they want, when they want and not have to worry about consequences. The congress can not prohibit freedom of speech.


I believe that the government should put an end to animal cruelty because many animals are suffering because their owners are not responsible or mature enough to take care of their pets the right way. If the government can ban child pornography why cant they ban animal cruelty. Animals and children should be protected by people not harmed.

The Judicial Branch

Constitutional Connection: Article III- The Judicial Branch, Section 1
"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."


Explanation of Connection: This article is about how the California Law is trying to ban violent video games for minors without going against the first amendment. California won the hearing to the supreme court. This way the state can have what they want and do not have to worry about going against the firs amendment because the protection of free speech does not apply to children and teens.


This article demonstrates Article III, section 1 of the United States Constitution. The supreme court has more power than other courts to cases that are presented. The Supreme court has a choice to wither agree or disagree with California, and they chose to agree. This shows how much power the Supreme court has.


I totally agree with California. I think that they should not sell violent video games to minors because children these days do what they see on video games in real life. I believe that the supreme court agree because they do not want children to be influenced by violence and they trying to protect them and other people.
