how do the rights apply to you?

by FR

Most people know about the Amendments, but they don't know how they apply to their actual lives. People think that just because you have the freedom of speech you can say anything anywhere. That is not true. There are things you cannot say that can threaten public safety. Also that you have the right to have a weapon. That is almost true. You need a permit for that.

You need to ask yourself, "When and how do the rights apply to me?" You think that anytime you want to do something bad that involves speech and expressive language you won't get into trouble because of the amendments. You are wrong. If you are on private property you can get kicked off or they can call the cops on you. Also if are threatening the president or the government you get into trouble. If you claim that there is a fire somewhere and there isn't or if you call in a bomb threat - in each case, you are threatening public safety. Those are a bit of places and reasons where these amendments don't apply.

There are, however, many places where the freedom of speech does apply. These places are mostly public places, such as the community gym, library, park. These are places for the public and you are the public. You can protest and say whatever you want. For however long you want.These are your places for protesting and they do not qualify as public property.

As you see there are pros and cons about our rights. You always thought that your rights are for everything you do bad. You think that you could do something that would getyou into trouble because it's your right, but you also have to know how to use that right. You can't use your right in curtain occasions. Other than those occasions you can use you rights any time. Your rights are your rights.

Remember that there are equal and opposite results to what you do. Don't always thing that government is wrong. Also the that government is always on your side. You may think you have those rights. You have to remember that there are boundaries for everything. Next time you want to express yourself think about what would happen if you do.
