Is graffiti wrong?
Graffiti is bad because it ruins others property and it is vandalism. If you were to get caught doing graffiti you could go to jail or you would have to do community service! Graffiti could ruin YOUR LIFE if someone caught you doing it! If you wanna do graffiti do it on your own property!!! Then you can't get into trouble because it's YOUR HOUSE or YOUR PROPERTY!! Anyway what I'm trying to say is that graffiti can really mess up your life! Don't do it, or do it somewhere else other than on someone elses property!
What is the freedom of press and petition?
In 1735, a journalist from the New York colony, John Peter Zenger, was put in prison and nearly sentenced to death just for writing some criticism of the Royal Governor in the newspaper. When the Bill of Rights was written years later, many Americans wanted to be sure that no journalist would be punished for reporting the news in a way the president or powerful people did not like. In the old days, "the press" was what we today call "the media," so freedom of the press (named after the machine that printed the newspapers-- the printing press) meant you are free to express your beliefs and opinions in a newspaper or magazine (or today, on TV or radio or the internet). The part of the Bill of Rights about petitioning the government for a redress of grievances just means you have the right to disagree with the government and to let them know. You can complain about what the government is doing-- you can protest, march, demonstrate, vote for somebody else ... and you cannot be punished for expressing your anti-government views, as long as you do so peacefully.
