The First Amendment (known as the Bill of Rights) was a compromise between Federalist states and Anti-Federalist states, therefore allowing the new Constitution to be passed. Anti-Federalist wanted rights and restrictions to be put on the Constitution because there was no guarantee to them. Federalists argued that the rights listed were implied. Obviously the Anti-Federalists got what they wanted.

∙ 7y agoThe First Amendment guarantees the most important civil liberties: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly and freedom to petition. It also implicitly guarantees freedom of association and freedom of movement as necessary in some of the previously mentioned freedoms. Additionally, peaceful protests are allowed by freedom of assembly and freedom to petition working in conjunction. Without this amendment, the United States federal government could restrict these freedoms and suppress your rights.
