The first 10 amendments are known as the Bill of Rights and were written shortly after the constitution was created. The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to clearly define the number of issues personal freedoms and the kinds of restrictions the government has when it comes to power over the individual. The first amendment is to protect religious freedoms and provide separation of church and state along with the freedom of speech, press, and assembly.
Its used to define the limitations the government can hold against you. Its a powerful document that establishes the governments rules and procedures of operation. Theres no legal age limit to exercise your first amendments when you are born you are entitled to the rights and there is also no citizenship requirement for protection. The social media app Tik-Tok is under scrutiny by the trump administration because of security and safety reasons and Tik-Tok argued against the ban by testifying that there users are allowed and protected to actively discuss political matters without receiving unnecessary punishment and a total shutdown of the app. It doesnt matter if the content is left wing or right wing they should both be held to the same regard and seen as free speech.
