Do you know your First Amendment rights?

Quick - name the five freedoms protected by the First Amendment... Can you do it?

1. Speech
2. Press
3. Religion
4. Petition
5. Assembly

So, what do they mean? Can you yell anything you want anywhere you want? Can you wear a t-shirt with a curse word on it? Can you stand up in the middle of McDonald's and yell "Fire!"? Can you and your friends congregate across the street from the school and protest the new dress code?

Find out at the Illinois First Amendment Center.
