The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects several fundamental rights, primarily relating to freedoms of expression and religion. Specifically, it includes:

  1. The right to practice religion (freedom of religion)
  2. The right to criticize government (freedom of speech)
  3. The right to assemble peacefully (freedom of assembly)
  4. The right to petition the government for redress of grievances (freedom to petition)
  5. The right to freedom of the press

The First Amendment does not explicitly address the right to own a gun, the right to a fair trial, or the right of owning properties; those topics are covered under other amendments and legal provisions.
