The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution Bill of Rights, though ratified in 1791, codify our most essential foundational ideals: freedom of religion and freedom of speech. These ideals define what this nation is about. What has been disconcerting is the increasing number of incidents in which these ideals have been stressed, attacked, even rejected. Yet they are important not only for a nation that claims to be the model of the free world but also as a means of reinforcing human dignity.
