Hank Williams sees how he can test his freedom of speech (amendment number one) he compared Obama to Adolf Hitler in one of his songs

"Yes, Williams’ attack on Obama was particularly harsh and Maines made the comment in another country just as our nation was about to go to war. But at the core, these incidents are the same: entertainers using their visibility to criticize the government." says the First amendment center.

People are protesting in Wall Street in New York and Boston-1st Amendment states that people have the right assemble

"A group of union-backed organizations joined the loosely defined Occupy Wall Street movement again Tuesday, leaving behind the confines of New York's financial district for the posh neighborhoods that dot Manhattan's Upper East Side, according to multiple group representatives."

People are upset that they are making noise while business people try to work during the day, even though they have the right to assemble, according to the first amendment. "The American dream is no longer possible because these people are stealing from the middle class," is what the people who are protesting are saying, which in the Constitution says it is okay to assemble (freedom of speech and assembly) ~Nicholas

[|Occupy LA Begins in Earnest] "Occupy LA" is a continuation of Occupy Wall Street. People have been camping out near City Hall because they are fed up with our country's economy. This is an example of freedom of assembly and petition because these people have the right to get together and protest as long as they don't cause harm. Minhal Gardezi
