1) "Congress shall make no law..."
This means the part of the government that makes laws (Congress) is not allowed to make rules that take away certain important rights. It’s a promise that the government can’t just remove freedoms people have.

2) "...abridging the freedom of speech or of the press..."
This means people can speak their minds and newspapers, TV, and websites can share news and opinions. The government is not supposed to stop people or the press from saying things it doesn't like.

3) "...or [abridging] the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
This says people can get together peacefully, like in marches or meetings, to show their ideas or concerns. It also means people can ask the government to fix problems (by petitions, letters, or requests) without being punished.
