Constitutional Connection

First Amendment
 "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government."

Analysis of Connection

While certain people have the right to broadcast things over the radio or the screen depending on the time & the rating. The First Amendment clearly states that a person has the right to freedom of speech. In this article it states that a person can say something at 10:00pm on broadcast television that they can't say at 9:55pm. They feel it is some things that should not be said at all on broadcast television no matter what the time is.

This article expresses the First Amendment in the U.S constitution. In the U.S Constitution the founding fathers gave every human being the right to speek freely and express their opinion. In the first amendment they also gave the right to freedom of assemble & press. It is a violation of the first amendment if someone is punished for expressing their feelings. You may not agree to something a person has said or is saying but they have the legal rights to do so.

If there wasn't an Amendment saying that an human being has the right to freedom of speech the world would be a differnt place. People would be inprisoned or even killed for some of the things they say. this article is pretty interesting. I totally agree with their ideas that no matter the time nor the day something explicit or vulgar should be said on television. Parents don't want their children to hear swear words or sexual language when their watching television late at night because they can't go to sleep.
