BlakeThe fundamental principles of American government are laid out in the First Amendment of the Constitution. They are: the freedom of speech; freedom of the press; freedom of religion; the right of people to peacefully assemble and consult for the common good; to apply to the government for redress of grievances. With the exception of freedom of religion, James Madison first presented these liberties, called the "Freedom of Speech and Press" to the House of Representatives on June 8, 1789. He made mention that these freedoms not be infringed upon. Freedom of religion came in as a result of a conference committee.
